Magonia

Man did I cry.

although I have seen the beginning of the plot before, it was written well and sarcastically, which is something that I like in a book. After a certain event that I will not spoil the book (in my opinion) gets way better, mainly because the mythology is so original myths. If someone asked me for a book suggestion, this would be one of the first books I mentioned.

I found this book after seeing the trailer on YouTube. To be honest, until you read the book it was really hard to understand what the story was all about. With a strong Fault in our Stars theme, teens will find this book interesting and captivating, however some teens may find it familiar and unoriginal. There is relatively no sexual content in the book and violence is kept to a basic level, there isn't anything described that is overly graphic. The writing was good and the plot was fun to follow. The only concern would be the use of language including 10+ uses of the words f*ck and occasional used of s*it. If your child understands that this is language that shouldn't be used in daily conversation and is mature enough to understand that the language used in the book is important to the story, it should be fine for mature tweens and teens. Overall, a really good book that I strongly recommend.
