The Stone Child by Dan Poblocki
4.0
Darn good. Appealing characters. An interesting premise. A good mix of suspense, spookiness, and pre-teen reality. Dan Poblocki is a WRITER TO WATCH and one whose work I will continue to read.
My only quibble is aimed at the typesetter. Yes, the typesetter. The font and size of the print for the hand-written diary entries - at least in the paperback I read - were horrible. These passages were incredibly difficult to read and tough going. This is unfortunate because they are key to the plot and the whole impact of the book.
So...when's the last time you read a review that even mentioned the font and the typesetter?
Good question, right?
