Sixteen-year-old Samantha Beckett and her friend, Charley Neilson, are walking home from school when they find themselves being chased by two strange looking boys in a white van. Racing through backyards and under hedges, they finally shake their pursuers, only to run into Captain Bartholomew Jones, a man who claims he was sent to deliver Samantha to her mother, the woman who abandoned Samantha at birth. Obsessed with the idea of finding her mother, Samantha agrees to go along with Jones, so long as Charley can accompany them. Trudging through the woods near her home, Jones leads them into a ring of mushrooms and thrusts a silver spoon into the ground. When the bright lights fade, Samantha finds herself in a land unlike any she has ever known, a harsh world of swordfights and sailing ships, a world without electricity or running water and filled with people who seem intent on killing her. To find her mother and discover the reason for her abandonment, she and Charley will have to escape kidnappers, race typhoons and battle monsters. As they both soon learn, only the quick and the strong survive long on the other side of the map, in a place called Neverworld. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Characters (4 Stars): The characters were funny and most were well developed. I had trouble connecting with quite a few of them though. This was very plot driven. Some characters had me questioning why they were even in the story. There were so many of them that made such short entrances that I often was confused with who they were. I had to think about it for a while when they were mentioned by other characters. The main characters were awesome though. My favorite was Daphne, the nymph.
Writing (3 Stars): This one’s a little hard. The author is obviously a very good writer. Racine had comic relief at just the right moments. It was great! Unfortunately, there were quite a few misspellings and wrong words used. Like see instead of sea. Or Jimmy’s name would be listed two paragraphs later as Jimmie. There were very few typos where I really had to stop and figure out what was being said. I figured it out pretty easily. It was just a bit of a distraction. The typos seemed to increase the farther into the book you get. It probably could have gone through one more round of proof reading. That said, they weren’t overwhelmingly common. It was probably slightly more than average for a self published book.
Overall: I really enjoyed this book! If there was a sequel, I would definitely read it. It was fun, the plot moved at a wonderful pace, and the characters made me laugh. I give this book 4 stars.
Mom’s Note: This book is very clean. There’s no cussing, not sex scenes. There was a quick kiss, but that was all. There are topics of child abuse and bullying.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. (
