Peers, Bobbie William Wenton and the Impossible Puzzle, 258
pages. Aladdin (Simon), 2017. $17.
Content: G (some danger)
William had his parents have been living a very quiet life
in Norway. But when he hears about a
puzzle contest with a seemingly unsolvable puzzle, he can not resist. He’s inherited the puzzle-solving gene from
his grandfather. So William sneaks away,
solves the puzzle, and then is kidnapped.
His kidanppers say that they mean no harm, that they know his
grandfather, but how can William trust them?
The only person in this crazy place of talking furniture and overconfident
kids he can seem to trust is Iscia, and even she seems to have a hidden agenda.
The first thing I asked myself upon finishing was – what was
the purpose of that? Seriously – why did I read this book? While it had action, there was not enough compelling action to disguise the fact that there was minimal
character development or plot. Yes,
William finds a pretty gigantic secret, but what is the point of it? If this is meant to setup a series, it didn’t
do the job.
