This is the novel that an Australian author, Hannah is sending to Leo, who's in Boston and able to supply her with Bostonian feedback. This relationship is its own intriguing story in time.

A really unique structure and a fun, gripping read, never knew what was going to happen next.

One day on his way to school Barnabas stumbles upon a subway map with an unknown subway line. This discovery leads him to a hidden valley where he uncovers a terror plot to destroy his city. It is up to him to stop the deadly plot.

This is a YA book that deals with many typical teenage problems but the story's whimsical nature, fun names and lack of in-depth world building means it reads as more Middle Grade at times, so would be a good book for those transitioning from Middle Grade books to YA.

The plot was slow at times to start off, but the last ⅓ was very tense and I had to read it in one go.
 

Overall a fun book with many great characters, many of whom are LGBT without it being a big part of the story which is always great to see.
