Finkleton
review 1: When the Finkles’ house burns down and their Uncle Harry dies, it seems fat is driving them to move to Finkleton. Ever since their Uncle’s death, however, weather has been acting abnormally weird for Finkleton. The three siblings, Jack, Robert, and Lizzy, discover that Finkleton has an some kind of magical control over their weather and their uncle’s hourglasses and levers inside the store somehow control it. If the trio don’t figure out how to control the weather, Mr. Lowsley, a mysterious guy who seems to want power, is going to weasel his way into Finkleton. Can the Finkle children figure out a way to fix the weather before it’s too late?The character dialogues feel forced, but the character are fairly likable and engaging. The plot is a little slow, but the m... moreystery is engaging. Readers who enjoy fantasy, adventure, mystery, and magic will enjoying reading this book.
review 2: Sorry, I like many others was seduced by the brilliant reviews, but I am truly sorry to say that the book is not very well written and not very interesting either. The main characters are very unappealing and as some others have said, act much younger than their ages. The writing, as others have said, is too much of the "tell" variety as opposed to the "show".This is the highest number of "great" reviews I have ever seen for such a lacklustre book. Oh dear. less
