Now it is Light, suddenly it is Night.
LightLand. A fantasy by H.L. McCutchen. I've finished this book a few minutes ago. My comment? This book's brilliant, awesome, wicked, superb. It really is. The minute I start reading this book, I don't want to put it down
(but of course, I have to.) It's a mystery, adventure, suspense and action with a bit of humor. The story is so good that I make this as one of my favorite books. This story is about a girl named Lottie Cook. Lottie Cook is not your ordinary girl. She has a memory so strong that she remembers everything she had experienced the moment she was born. Even the "flat, tinny taste of powdered baby formula'. And sometimes, she can even remember things that happened before she's born. Oh, and she wears only pajamas at school. (You'll find out why when you read the book). She has a bestfriend named Lewis Weaver who hadn't spoken until he was three years old when his father mysteriously disappeared. He is a boy who wouldn't talk to ANYONE (not even to his own mother), only to Lottie. The only person to the entire world he talked to is Lottie. They lived their lives normally in Iowa until when Lottie is eleven years old. Lottie's father made her a story box out of her favorite cherry tree. That's where the adventure begins. Because of the Story Box, Lottie Cook found herself in LightLand.
It has a mystery and suspense thing that makes the reader have extreme eagerness to the story and want to read more to find out. At first the anticipation almost killed me. hehe...The first part about LightLand is really puzzling. And, before, Ms. d'Avignon brought suspicion because she seemed to know what's on Lottie's mind. But as I read on, mysteries began to unfold and I finally implicit the furtive behind the Story Box, Lottie's father, Ms. d'Avignon, the Night King, Mr. Weaver's unexplained disapperance and, of course, the secrets and memories of Light Land. This book is sure to be enjoyed by many readers just as much as I did.
oh, and by the way...
Olaf rocks.
