The inside jacket of the cover is a bit misleading. It reads like this will be a plot-driven mystery novel with magical realism elements. But it’s actually a novel about the character development of two teens with learning differences find themselves intertwined a world beyond the physical one they know.
The descriptions of the world under the lake are lyrical and vivid and gorgeous. But I felt too much time was spent telling about their struggles and not enough showing the plot. Telling about ADHD and dyslexia rather than building a plot made this feel like a younger, educational read.
