Actual rating is 3.5stars
The title made me wonder if it was a retelling of Hansle & Grettle. It is not, not quite.
The story reminded me of many fairytales I read as a kid with multiple mentions of Narnia.
I am certain there is more to the story than meets the eye. But I am not analysing this right now.
Some topics & my key take aways:
- middle grade reading / 11 year olds
- depression
- letting go / friendships come and go
- Indian, adopted protagonist
- gore and creepy creatures and hardships
- kidnapping
- separated parents
- bullying
- hint of suicide without explixity mentioning it
