Book Review The Divide by Elizabeth Kay

A few days ago I read a very delightful book called The Divide written by Elizabeth Kay. It was written for young adults, on the younger end of the audience.

The book structure itself was delightful. The cover opened in the center of the front, which I have never seen before. The art on the cover was fantastic, and just this caught my attention.

The story was fun and lighthearted. It is about a young boy named Felix, who has a serious, terminal heart condition. He passes out on the Continental Divide in Costa Rica and finds himself in another world. It is a world where magic, griffins, elves, brownies, pixies, and unicorns are real, and humans and science are fiction. He gains some unusual friends who set out on a journey across their world to find a magical cure for his heart. They also come across a japegrin with a mission to get rich off of other people's illnesses.

The plot is well-constructed and lighthearted. It kept me laughing and rooting for Felix, while delighting in discovering the fantasy of this new world.
