\"NOS4A2\"<\/p>\n

NOS4A2 tells the story of\u00a0 Vic, a girl who has a special ability to find lost things using her red bicycle and a covered bridge that leads her to whatever’s lost. \u00a0Her gift works great until she encounters a man with a similar ability, Charles Manx, who uses his “gift” to kidnap children.<\/p>\n

Vic was the only child ever to escape from Manx and his Wraith, the car he uses to travel to his own special realm, an awful place called Christmasland.\u00a0 As an adult, she puts aside the whole awful memory of what happened with Manx until her own son is in danger.<\/p>\n

I loved this book.\u00a0 I thought it was very well written. \u00a0Not only was there great character development, but the plot reeled me in from the very beginning. \u00a0What an amazing concept, that these characters are able to travel to a realm beyond our own.\u00a0 Hill creates quite the villain\u00a0with Charles Manx.\u00a0 Whenever I see\u00a0one of those classic cars that Manx drives, I get a little\u00a0bit of a chill. \u00a0Vic\u00a0is a spunky,\u00a0loveable and at\u00a0times stubborn protagonist.\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0also have to note that Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son.\u00a0 I think he definitely inherited his father’s talent.<\/p>\n
