Publisher's summary

When things go bad at home, sisters Eleanor and Mike hide in a secret place under Eleanor's bed, telling monster stories. Often, it seems those stories and their mother's house magic are all that keep them safe from both busybodies and their dad's temper. But when their father breaks a family heirloom, a glass witch ball, a river suddenly appears beneath the bed, and Eleanor and Mike fall into a world where dreams are born, nightmares struggle to break into the real world, and secrets have big consequences.

Full of both adventure and heart, Riverland is a story about the bond between two sisters and how they must make their own magic to protect each other and save the ones they love.

Too consistently heavy and repetitive for me

Suzy Jackson does another great job of reading and I’m glad I made it to the end. But the near constant external and internalized abuse that the protagonist experiences was too much for me. Perhaps the one disservice Suzy does for this book was reading it more like a YA novel when this really isn’t that kind of book (despite the age of the protagonist). It’s a good read if you enjoy having your protagonists tormented and failing for 7/8ths of a book before finally putting the pieces together. That’s just not my jam.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
