james dashner the journal of curious letters

“ The Journal of Curious Letters” is the first volume in The 13th Reality series and introduces readers to Atticus Higginbottom- Tick to his friends & family-a fairly normal thirteen-year-old boy whose life is forever changed when he receives a mysterious letter requesting his assistance in a matter where the lives of many are at stake. Luckily for me, I noticed that Shadow Mountain was starting a new children’s fantasy series in The 13th Reality by James Dashner-author of the Jimmy Fincher Saga -which sounded interesting and decided to review that instead :) So when Shadow Mountain approached me to review the latest Fablehaven novel by Brandon Mull-the company also publishes the popular Leven Thumps books-I was hesitant about jumping into the middle of an already established franchise that I wasn’t familiar with. Unfortunately, like urban fantasy, there is a very strong demand for children’s fiction nowadays-particularly Harry Potter-type books-and as a result there are so many series out there it’s difficult to keep track of everything.

While I’ve read-and enjoyed-a number of newer works such as the Harry Potter books, His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, Garth Nix’s Abhorsen novels, the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud, Frank Beddor’s The Looking Glass Wars and so on, I admit that I haven’t stayed on top of children’s literature/YA fiction as much as I would like, and it’s something that I’ve been wanting to rectify for a while now. Having grown up on everything from Hardy Boys, Lloyd Alexander and the Chronicles of Narnia to Alice in Wonderland and Tom Swift, I’m no stranger to children’s literature/YA fiction and continue to follow the subgenre with great interest.
