"A tense moving and wondrously strange first novel. The photographs and Rex work together brilliantly to create and unforgettable story." -John Greene.
The authors writing style is kind of mysterious and tense. It's jumpy but more concentrated as well. I haven't read anything else by this author but reading this book by this author dies remind me of another author, Mary Downing Hahn. They both have the mysterious Kind of style.
"See for yourself," she said, gesturing towards me. "Can you imagine any relative of Abes being so perfectly clueless?" (Page 131)
If I had the opportunity I would love to go to the island of Cairnhorn and see this mysterious house that the children had lived in. I would love to witness these peculiar children and the weird things they can achieve.
