The Widely Unknown Myth of Apple & Dorothy
by Corey Ann Haydu
Corey Ann Haydu's take on age old mythology is refreshing and engaging. What happens when a village is allowed to live for generations in the in between? Not quite gods, not quite humans. Are they better than us or do they carry the flaws of both?
The Widely Unknown Myth of Apple & Dorothy explores that topic as well as themes of grief, change vs. tradition, friendship and so much more. While this is considered a Juvenile Fiction novel, I found the themes it addresses to resonate with me even as an adult. This is exactly the kind of story I would put into the hands of children in my own life because it so beautifully blends important life lessons and reflections with a story that any person could find themselves within.
While there were some lulls in the storyline, I stayed engaged simply to see where the story went next. While certain character's actions were fairly expected, there was at least one surprising twist that had me flying through the final chapters to see how it was resolved.
