Tess lives
in a world where people live long lives, and if they do what is expected of
them, it is a great place to grow up.
But one day, when Tess’s twin brother Theo disappears, no one knows
where he's gone or why, but they also don’t ever talk about it. But her dad isolates himself to his home lab
and hardly ever comes out. But when Tess’s
favorite person, her neighbor, Miriam, gets marked for retirement for no reason. As Miriam is being walked out to go, she
slips Tess a key, one that Tess soon finds opens a small closet filled with
boxes of books. Books are not allowed
and can get you in big trouble, but Tess also finds the magic in the stories,
and it is that magic that might bring her twin back, as it seems he got sucked into
a portal and is stuck in a story. Can
Tess and her parents figure it out before they are caught or Theo dies?
This is a
new and wonderful book by Lois Lowry.
Staying true to her form, this is set in the future and deals with
censorship. This book sucks you in and
won’t let you go until you finish the book.
It is very suspenseful and will have you hanging on the edge of your
seat. It will also make you think, I
think long and hard about book censorship, and once it starts, where will the
censorship end? At the same time, it
reminds you of the magic of books and how you can go anywhere and at any time
through a book. This is really good and
should not be one to miss.
