![]() I'll be talking about this more in my January 2017 Wrap Up on my channel so stay tuned for that. It definitely gave the story much more heart. Now I do enjoy books that have the parents or guardians non-existent but it was really great reading something different. There are a lot of books out there that push the parents or guardians to the side and this one did not do that at all. I also liked how Hoodoo included his family in on what was happening to him. This is also a pretty damn dark Middle-Grade book, so don't go in expecting anything light. ![]() There's a talking crow, a creepy carnival, grave robberies, and one of the most ruthless villains I've ever read, the Stranger. This takes place in the 1930s in Alabama and though it is a Horror/Fantasy, it still deals with race and class issues which I thought melted beautifully together in this story. Hoodoo is one of the best characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading, I just love his heart, and his determination to set things right and save everyone. It was scary, thrilling, heartbreaking, and one hell of a ride. "The Princess and the Frog meets AHS: Coven" ![]()
