Mehso-so

Thomas Lennon‘s fantasy novel for children aged 9+ (the first in a series and illustrated by John Hendrix) relies heavily on Oirish stereotypes and the world building never really gels (particularly the link between the fantasy and real world elements) and feels intended for an older audience. There are some laughs from the dialogue but the pacing is uneven and the cliff hanger ending didn‘t interest me enough to want to read the sequel.

Took The Child to a reading and signing of Thomas Lennon's debut novel...and he was AWESOME. I bought the book for her but now I want to read it. He is hilarious! (He wrote the first two Night at the Museum movies, among other things and in addition to being a comedian.)
