Unbelievers by Julie Affleck Tour & Giveaway


Unexplained deaths have occurred in the tiny village of Mount Stewart, Prince Edward Island, for more than half a century. Every five years, to be exact, the river claims a victim. 

This year, thirteen year old Leigh Kennedy and her friends are destined to die. Can Leigh find out why this has been happening in time to escape their fate?

Unbelievers is geared toward a middle grade reader.  Leigh Kennedy is only thirteen, but I did enjoy this short book.  The first few pages of the prologue really enticed me to read further as it promised suspense.

Affleck has a way with words that make a scene spring to life and Leigh Kennedy, as well as her friends, seemed to be well developed and easily relatable to.   If you enjoy middle grade fiction, then you will enjoy the Unbelievers.  If you have a child from eight - fourteen, they would probably enjoy it as well. A great cast of characters and a suspenseful plot will keep you turning the pages.

      I don't have any life experience with my middle-grade, Ya novels thank goodness! But I am working on a picture book series with a fabulous illustrator that I can exaggerate my kids' 'experiences!
      Thanks for taking the time to comment!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
