Review

This book will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Just as you think you have Oddity, New Mexico figured out something new pops out of the closet! Not only is the town is controlled by puppets and their human puppet masters, but there are ghosts in closets, giant centipedes, zombie bunnies, and an invisible Blurmonster. Ada ’s twin sister, Pearl, has disappeared after winning the town’s Sweepstakes, and things don’t seem right, even for a town as strange as Oddity. Ever since Pearl’s disappearance, Ada’s father works all the time and her mother has been depressed, so Ada and her friends decided to look for answers. This is a fun, absurd adventure for readers who enjoy a combination of suspense and fantasy.

Overall Book Score: very good
