The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle
3.0
“You see, Honest Reader, sometimes when a person is faced with a difficult truth, it's easier just to ignore it. But the truth is like the sun, one cannot hide from it for long.”
This is an intriguing and mysterious introduction to a new series by Rex Ogle. Following Will, who has just moved to a new town after his mother's divorce, The Supernatural Society balances the difficulties of making friends, keeping old ones, and discovering a world of ciphers and magic. When all the town's pets seem to go missing, Will decides he must take action--after all, his pet dog is the only being left linking him to his old life. Through countless endeavors all the while making friends with Ivy, an outcast, and her brother Linus, the school's resident nerd, he discovers that sometimes even though adults might try their hardest...it's not always enough.
Told through the perspective of some sort of ancient(?) being with a forlorn and snarky attitude, this definitely works as a novel to discuss perspective, point of view, and mood.
Overall, this was a fun romp that definitely hooked me in. I'll definitely be reading the second one, though I'm hoping that the series will mature with its reader base.
