lauraxbakker's review against another edition

I received a copy from Netgalley in return for a honest review.
I really enjoyed reading this novella. The description of this book really intrigued me to read it and over all it was a good story. There were still some grammar mistakes in it though! I would have liked it if there was more background and character building on Gunther. I'm glad that the ending wasn't super fast-paced, it was good. I really liked the characters, especially Artie!

This is a really short book set in the wilderness so of course, a mini adventure ensues. Jackson and his brother Artie are dealing with the emotional aftermath of the death of their mother, a distraught and hardass father, a clingy yet loving girlfriend and a strange man who lives in a cave.
As this is so short, I'm not sure enough happened for me to be able to give it a higher rating but it definitely is a pleasant read and deals with some great themes.

The Unmoving Sky is a YA novella, so naturally it's quite short. This novella is about two brothers; Jackson and Arthur (Artie) and their problems and adventures in the wilderness. Jackson and Artie are dealing with the loss of the mother, an emotionally shut off father and girlfriend problems. Though, this all seems like nothing when Jack and Artie get stranded in the woods miles from home in the middle of a downpour of rain. they are then found by a strange bushy man who leads them to his cave.
Let me tell you, he's sketchy.
During the rainstorm Artie ends up injuring his ankle in a bear trap making it difficult to walk much. Luckily Jackson manages to get Artie out of the trap and find a tree for them to sleep under for the night. Unluckily they have to sleep through the rain so they both end up getting sick. This is how the strange man finds them. He then takes them back to his cave and tries to help heal Artie's leg.
Once the boys get to his cave they learn about his crazy plans and are forced to figure out just how much danger they are in.
Because this novella was soo short it's like not much happened but soo much happened all at once. I would recommend this because it's short, it's not light but it's good if you've got a readathon coming up and you want something short that will still have impact.
This is good for mature middle graders and definitely suitable for people older.
