My review
My mom found this book and thought I would like it. She was right! It's creepy but fun, an unlikely combination of sustainability, mythology, and horror. It's meant for young adults but I'm 28 and was turning pages with excitement, wondering what would come next. I won't say anything about the plot because the less you know, the more enjoyable the book will be. I didn't have a dust jacket on my used copy, and the plain black cover with its enigmatic title was even more successful than the spooky eye graphic shown here. Probably best for older kids, it's got some very grim imagery and some violence in it.
