The Silver Child by Cliff McNish

3.0

I'm 12 years late to the party, but this has got to be one of the weirdest books I have ever read. I picked it up at a local used bookstore after checking out the gr rating, and that seriously did not prepare me.

The concepts in this book are, to me, very advanced for the intended age group. Metamorphosis??? MURDER??? Just WHAT is going on???

This book was an experience. I still can't decide if it's good or not based on just how overly different and weird it is. 10/10 on creativity and also just fucking haunting me.
