Rating: 4.5 / 5.0
Well, what can I say? I loved it! It was like Charlie Bone
and X-Men combined. I totally loved the idea of this book and I am so glad I wasted
the whole weekend finishing this. This book is about Jacob Portman who goes
psycho after the death of his grandfather. He has been seeing and dreaming about
monsters and has blamed his grandfather’s stories for it. Thinking that it’ll
help him cure his trauma, he sets out to a tiny island in Wales where his grandfather
grew up. But as Jacob is about to think that all of his grandfather’s stories
were mere fiction, he begins to realize that they might be indeed true and that
the peculiar children are still alive.
I loved the characters in this book. Sure, they’re not as
cool and strong as the X-Men but their uniqueness of personalities made me love
them. The peculiar children (plus Jacob) and equally lovable. At least, most of
them.
One more reason why I enjoyed this book is the usage of
vintage photographs. Some were just laughable but some did send chills down my
spine. It was also like looking through a photo album os bizarre people.
The book is written in a first person POV and the usage of
words is simple (I prefer simple : -)). To conclude, I must recommend this book
to Charlie Bone and X-Men fans out there, to those who love time travel and to
those who simply love a story about how a group of teens can save the world.
