Welcome to Litsy!

Such a cute story about believing in yourself and being the hero in your own life. Leopold is chosen as a hero and magical adventures with his best friend ensue! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

I think this is Random Riggs first book since his Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series! I was never a huge fan of that series, but this one is absolutely fantastic so far! Also, how did I never know before that he is married to another awesome YA author - Tahereh Mafi!? 😱 So very cool!

So often, especially in YA literature, you see main characters reflect the "chosen one" trope, highlighting extraordinary characters changing the world. Riggs creates a different feel with Leopold, who can be the hero just because of who he is. It reminded me that believing in yourself is its own magic.

This was a fun novel to read. The world building is great and I loved the magical and supernatural elements that are utilized throughout were unique yet, at times, a bit twisted. Leopold is a great character. I felt as though he represents an average “loser” teen and young people can relate to, and seeing his growth throughout the novel only added to the entertainment. While it was slow at times, I was always wondering what would happen next.

This book was just so much fun to read. It really brought back that 90s nostalgia and I was living for it!

I loved the Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs so I was so excited to read this one and it definitely lived up to the anticipation.

I found myself so transported into the story and I felt like I was right beside Leopold in Sunder. I was rooting for him the entire time. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!

Riggs kicks off a new series that‘s a lot of fun & leaves me anxious for the sequel! Titular character & narrator, Leopold, opens up with a disastrous day. Since the death of his mom 5 years earlier, he no longer feels special or even like he belongs. His best friend, Emmett, certainly never sees visions of their once favorite TV show, the Sunderland. But Leopold keeps seeing strange things from parking attendants with wings to flaming raccoons!
