Perfect stocking stuffer for a teen reader or spiritual adult, this newest work by a young author resonates with hope and a hint of sarcasm.
Noah Finn and the Art of Suicide by E. Rachael Hardcastle is a compact treasure. From the first sentence, this book gripped me in modern, fantastical, spiritual, clutches. A would-be suicide victim unwillingly, at first, embarks on a journey through his life. In accepting his own death, he must accept his life, and the roles he has played in the stories of the people around him. Without being preachy or saccharine, this fast-paced novella roars with action, humour, and mystical drama. I recommend this book for ages teen through adult, and will be adding it to my gift list this year!
