Lucretia and the Kroons by Victor LaValle-3 stars

LaValle, Victor, Lucretia and the Kroons. Random House, 2012. Ebook.

When Lucretia's cancer-ridden friend, Sonny goes missing, Lucretia heads up into the dangerous 6-D apartment to bring her back. There, she is goes through a portal to the Shadowlands where she meets mutants, lost children, haunted playgrounds, winged rodents, and more. Can she face the dangers and save her friend or is her friend lost to her already?


Confusing in many parts, but the action keeps the reader going. The characters are a little one-dimensional, but likable nonetheless. Readers who like fantasy, adventure, and books about friendship and loss will enjoy reading this book.

Grades 9 to 12, 3 stars.
