The Increasingly Transparent Girl by Matthew Stott

rosadelexie's review against another edition

4.0

I was really happy that Melody May was markedly different than Molly, which was my main concern when I started this one. This book wasn't as creepy as the first two by far, but I actually enjoyed it! (Especially since the second one scared the HELL out of me, a 19 year old.) It reminded me a lot of Neil Gaiman's Coraline, especially when it came to the cat (or not cat...). All in all, I really liked this, and I was so happy to see Mr. Adams and Neil again. Such a creepy little series that I highly recommend.

This book is far less dark than the other two of the series but the cameo’s from the other books made it entertaining and enjoyable. A fast paced book that can at times have a little too much focus on a new encounter a chapter at times. Yet it also means that you can see the world mutating around. The enchantment was impressive and unique which was interesting to see and the combination approach kept it interesting after the “main” battle was complete. Would love to see more in this series if the author was ever willing to come back to it!

While this is the third in the series, it can definitely be read on it's own (although there are tie backs to the first book A Monstrous Place which I would also recommend checking out).

Melody May was a brilliant lead character, she was fiesty and adventurous, but still felt like a normal young girl. And the return of Mr Adams and Neil was an added bonus.

There were great twists throughout the story, and I loved the expansion of the world we saw in this book.

Overall, this is a brilliantly fun and spooky children's book. It had the same kind of feeling I had while I read Coraline by Neil Gaiman so if you're a fan of that I'd definitely recommend picking this up.
