Thank you to Hannah for being my other guest book reviewer! She read a book by an author I met, so of course I was excited she chose this one to review!
Melt
Selene Castrovilla
Dorothy, a typical sixteen year old
good girl meets Joey, a troubled boy who hasn’t told anyone about the awful
violence he sees daily at home. Joey’s mind is filled with fragments of melted
thoughts due to everything he’s seen. Dorothy is slowly able to reach into
Joey’s melted mind and attempts to pull him out of his miserable world. All is
well until one event threatens to turn even Dorothy’s clear mind into a melted
puddle.
This novel was full of suspense and
made me want to read more and more. At times I was a little confused because of
the way Joey’s thoughts were fragmented, but by the end it all made sense. I
didn’t quite understand the Wizard of Oz background
in it, because I actually have never seen the movie, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked how the author showed Joey’s
brokenness through his broken thoughts scattered across the page.
