Bookshop.org<\/a>Description of the book: <\/em><\/strong>It\u2019s supposed to be a treat for Kit, a winter holiday by the coast with her sister Libby and their mum. But when Libby vanishes into thin air, and no one else remembers her, Kit is faced with a new reality \u2013 one in which her sister never existed.<\/p>\nThen she meets Story, a local boy who remembers Libby perfectly. Together they embark on a journey beyond their wildest imagination into a world steeped in ancient folklore. Can Kit and Story uncover the secret of the Twelve and rescue Libby before Time runs out?<\/p>\n
How this book made me feel:<\/em><\/strong> I was very intrigued by the cover of this novel. The stone circles always mesmerized me, and I am glad I picked this book.<\/p>\nThe protagonist in this book is Kit and the book is told from her perspective. Kit, her sister, and mum visited a caravan park by the beach for Christmas. I never stayed by the sea in winter, but it sounds cold and windy \ud83d\ude00 Due to certain events, Libby, Kit\u2019s sister disappears from this world and everyone talks like she never existed, but Kit knows it is not true, so she goes on a quest to find her sister. I liked Kit, she is sweet, brave and determined. I enjoyed Kit\u2019s and Story\u2019s friendship and the honesty that they both shared. I don\u2019t think the characters opened up enough in this book, I wanted more\u2026<\/p>\n
The narrative of this book is shrouded in history, magic and past. I really enjoyed their journey through time, the places they visited and the events that happened to them. I have missed more danger and adventure but liked this story\u2019s folk aspect. The topics discussed in this book were friendships, abandonment, survival, the harm to the world done by humans, kindness, and more.<\/p>\n
I loved the setting of this book, I am very keen to spend a weekend in Dover or anywhere by the cliffs, while the ocean is raging a few feet away. The writing style is very lyrical and beautiful. The chapters are not long and it is an easy and enjoyable read. I think the author concluded this story very well and left me very satisfied with the outcome.<\/p>\n
So, to conclude, this young adult novel is peaceful, lyrical but entertaining at the same time. The characters are compelling and the narrative had me hooked, I wanted to find out what would happen next. Do give this novel a go and I hope you will like it as much as I did.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your time \u2764<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
