On her 12th birthday, Cricket is given a gift that shows her unusual abilities were shared by someone close to her. However, when Cricket and her best friend start to experiment with her gift, the people around her start behaving very oddly, there is black dust everywhere, and her baby brother has been replaced by some "thing." A talking cat tells Cricket she is the only one who can save her brother and stop the dust from spreading. However, Cricket must follow him into a strange land where Santa, fairies, and other magical creatures are real. Can Cricket find her baby brother and stop the dust before it's too late?
I loved the imagination and detail that went into this book. It reminded me, at times, of the movie Labyrinth that I loved as a teenager. I loved how Cricket constantly found the courage to step outside her comfort zone even though it was not easy to know who to trust. I also liked how people with different abilities were championed in this book. I look forward to reading future installments in this series.
I would like to thank NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review. #TheSlugQueenChronicles #NetGalley
