The Book of Boy

The Book of Boy by Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Rating: 3 stars

I really wanted to love this, but it seemed a little thin & flat. I kept hoping for more details that would make the world seem more real. Even the “plot twist” didn’t grab me. It’s definitely no Where the Mountain Meets the Moon or The Chronicles of Prydain.

I picked this up at the library thinking the kids would enjoy it, but I don’t think they’ve been interested in reading it. The story was cute and I can it appealing to younger readers.
