(3) YA Thirteen-year-old Jo learns she is the Ichthala, prophesied to destroy the alternate world of Eldrich City, home to bizarre characters ("giant cockroaches...swishing about in jeweled capes and shimmering pantaloons, swinging chromium walking sticks") and raucous situations. Readers who aren't lost in the nonsense world or confused by the cacophony of voices will delight in the silliness and adventure.
Reviewer: Laura A. Woollett
