Wow what a dark read, especially that it's a children's book. The premise is that our main character wants to give a gift for his son at his christening but they are poor. So he is on a mission to find his son a godfather. He talks to God, the devil and Death and winds up choosing Death as his godfather. What happens after that is just crazy and wonderful. Definitely not a happy ending. Awesome illustrations as well.

Good story.

Treacle Walker, by Alan Garner (2021)

Premise: An isolated boy has his eyes opened to whole new worlds when a rag-and-bone man appears on his doorstep

Review: This was a surprise short-list pick for the 2022 Booker Prize and it definitely has that high literary flair to it. It‘s well-written, well-conceived, and well-executed. I just didn‘t find it all that interesting. It‘s a dull success.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
