The Mysterious Disappearance of Aidan S.

Welp I read this one in this sitting, it is a bonefide page turner. I think the folks who were annoyed that Aveinieu didn't turn into some modern day Narnia are kind of missing the point. This is a really quick, fascinating read about needing an escape and how middle schoolers deal with not having an outlet for that escape. The dialogue with the parents is tense and as a parent I really empathized with them. I will say, the kid dialog definitely felt like an adult talking through a kid.

3.5 stars. Somehow the first book I've ever read by David Levithan!
