The plot has its moments but failed to capture my interest. I was halfway into the book and it felt like reading a Jules Verne copy. Although, Jules Verne's books were much more interesting. Maybe young adult readers will like the book and will be able to connect with the characters in a better way. I would give the book only 3 stars. ( ) This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. The author wrote this story based on news stories about a carnival and how they used reports of a sea monster to draw crowds to their show in the 1930s. The story jumped around quite a bit and was heavy with dialog, but young adults may find it a fun read. The author stretched the Bessie Sea Monster story to add a magical touch. no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesSystema Paradoxa (10)
There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community. These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us. These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales. *** What is legend? What is truth? A monster is said to lurk beneath the waters of Lake Erie. Jane and her twin brother Rob are haunted by just that. As children, they lost half their family to a terrible boating accident. They haven't left dry land since. Only, at the age of sixteen, they allow friends to lure them onto the lake. But should they have held their ground? When something nearly swamps their boat, years of secrecy are swept away and the children's father shares their family history with the supposed Monster of Lake Erie. Will the tale bring closure or just more tragedy? No library descriptions found. |
