This was a fun read that really shouldn't have taken me this long, but it's November and NaNoWriMo, so reading, much like life, is sitting on the backburner. :) It's a middle-grade book, but it read closer to YA to me. The plot was engaging enough, and I definitely enjoyed following the main characters, but what really made the story shine for me was the setting. The best way I can describe it is this: Stranger Things, but with a generous helping of Night Vale and a small touch of Unknown Armies.
