It’s official – I have a new favourite author (at least in the world of YA fiction):\u00a0 Marcus Sedgwick.\u00a0 I started and finished the newest one in the library, ‘She Is Not Invisible<\/strong>‘ yesterday.\u00a0 Obviously not a long or dense read, but I couldn’t put it down till it was finished.\u00a0 Take a mystery, adventure, and physics and psychology, and combine them with great characters and New York City.\u00a0 I was hooked.\u00a0 Not to mention a story that ends at the end of the book!\u00a0 Sedgwick is known for atmospheric, rather creepy stories.\u00a0 This one gets its atmosphere through the eyes of the main character, Laureth, 16 and blind from birth.\u00a0 Laureth takes her 7-year-old brother and they fly from London to New York to find their missing father.\u00a0 Somewhat different than his other books, this story is just as intriguing.\u00a0 I’ll just mention another of his books which will be on the new Mountain Reads 2015 list – ‘Midwinterblood<\/strong>‘.\u00a0 It’s a series of interconnected short stories going through time – definitely creepier than the other, but another page turner.\u00a0 Now, I’m not normally a creepy-story lover, but there’s something about Marcus Sedgwick – I hope you’ll give him a try.\u00a0 We also have several of his older books as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
