The Season of Styx Malone Award-winning author Kekla Magoon creates an almost perfect middle-grade adventure in The Season of Styx Malone. During an endless suburban summer, middle-school brothers Caleb and Bobby Gene accidentally trade their little sister for a sack of fireworks. Although their sister is returned, the boys retain possession of the fireworks, which they hide in the woods. There, they meet neighbor Styx Malone. Outrageously cool, older-than-them Styx teaches the brothers how to make a Great Escalator Trade. A fantastic piece of middle-grade fiction is no easy task, but Magoon--with Caleb's open-hearted narration, believable dialogue and just-the-right-height stakes--makes it feel as if it's no work at all. --Siân Gaetano, children's and YA editor, Shelf Awareness (Wendy Lamb Books, $16.99 hardcover, 9781524715953, October 16, 2018) This offer has ended. |
