The Collectors by Jacqueline West
4.0
Van - boy who wears a hearing aid. Portrayal of mishearing things and interpreting words he does hear when he doesn’t have his bearing aid in.
The first chapter is so engaging. I love the description of the spider and her eyes sparkling like a blackberry. I love how Van isn't noticed by many people but he is super observant himself. I like the slightly eerie fantasy vibe of this one. It is refreshing to have a more light "creep level". It was also hard to tell what side (good or bad) that certain characters were going to be on. I thought it was a unique premise with the stealing of wishes and what happens if they really come true or not.
Notes: Disability, boy with hearing aid, MN author, good audio
