Why read it?
1 author picked The Wonder State as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love books with creepy houses, complicated friendships, grown-ups returning to their hometowns, dual timelines, and mysterious books that characters must decode.
The Wonder State has all these things. And not just one creepy house, but many! From the outside it might seem like your standard wayward-teens-get-into-trouble story, but it is so much more. It’s magical. It’s heartfelt. It’s clever. It’s atmospheric.
The houses in this book are more than homes. They are works of art, they are portals to the past, they are hideouts, they are solace, and they are terrible dangers, all at once.
