4.5

I read this in all of a few hours and really liked it. I was a bit surprised it was in with the children’s books as I thought it was pretty firmly YA.

The ending wrapped up too fast for my liking. It was also hard to believe that a pretty average sixteen year old was not frequently on social media or the internet.

Nevertheless, I still enjoyed this book. It was a page turner and I didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed how the details and mystery of Libby were slowly revealed throughout the comic pages, which was a really cool feature of the book. I would recommend this, but more to YA and not children’s audiences.

It was a very basic mystery/thriller but with fantasy elements that draw you in. For someone who reads more fantasy than mystery/thriller it was a fun and fast paced read.
