The Strangeworlds Travel Agency: Book 1

Product Information

Can Mimi save her gran from losing her memories? An inclusive, searingly emotional story with magic realism elements. But. I should have trusted the absolute genius of L.D. Lapinski here. The story of this final part hums with narrative drive, but is urgent rather than rushed. It explodes in character moments - some teary, and others fistpumpy (new term? Does it work? No? Not at all? We move on).

Strofadia is a land of flight and fantasy, where the people are born with wings and the great floating mountains are seen as the source of fantastic power. There are three floating mountains, with the largest being known as the home of the great Cloud Dragon – keeper of magic and granter of wishes. The people of Strofadia take their magical wishes (in the form of a physical bead-like object) to the dragon, in the hopes that the wish will be granted at the end of the festival when the dragon appears. Sorry.” Hudspeth raised his hands. “Jonathan… Mr. Mercator… We’re sorry. We got it in Five Lights, and thought it might be useful.” It's an excellent ending to a wonderful trilogy. If you haven't read the first two, then stop and go get them, they really are an excellent trilogy. I'm amazed at how well they were able to finish everything up, tying up all ends.As well as the many brilliant books for adults that tell LGBTQ+ stories, there are lots that celebrate equality and inclusivity and are great for reading with kids. I finished this book last month, but needed some time with it to digest. This review won’t contain plot or spoilers as you MUST read the first two, and ideally come to the third with no spoilers for the full experience. A shadow crossed in front of the large bay window. And then it passed again, this time pausing in the region of the front door. After a moment the door opened, scraping over the swollen floorboards, and a boy came in, curling not so much his lip as his entire face at the sight of the shop interior.

Keď som premýšľala nad tým, akým spôsobom budem hodnotiť túto knihu a čo o nej poviem, riešila som dve strany. I liked the concept of wishes having weight and that you have enough time to make your own wishes/dreams come true by taking your own action. And then the—the octopus things.” Mori wiped at her eyeliner with a manicured finger. “What did she call them?” Hudspeth nodded. “Worst storm I’ve seen for a long time. The ports were all but shut down on the lower half of the world. And they’ve swapped currency again, did you know that?” world building) άκρως απολαυστική, γαργαλάει την εικονοπλαστική δύναμη του εγκεφάλου και ξεπηδώντας από τις σελίδες αποκτά απτή, τρισδιάστατη μορφή και υπόσταση.There are very many more questions and mysteries to be answered and solved and that is also the reason why I am rating this one a bit lower because it just seemed we never get that. Instead it just piles on and on and on. It does give the story a bit more excitement.. but it is just frustrating as well. Presenting herself as Julian, Jordan successfully auditions for an all-male a capella group and is forced to consider what it means to be female, male and, ultimately, herself. A refreshingly complex and entertaining story of self-discovery. Reluctantly, Mori unhooked the ring from her belt, and put the magnifying glass into Jonathan’s hand. Having not read the precious books, I was worried I'd be lost, but it the additional stories didn't impact this one too much, so it was still a fun read! I enjoyed this companion book to the Strangeworlds Agency series. It’s short (as it is for World Book Day) but has all the entertaining fun from the other three books.
