A Book Review: The Boogeyman From Planet Lackawanna


The Boogeyman From Planet Lackawanna, written by, G. K. Zufall , Gretchen Zufall (Author), and illustrated by Mike Paar .

When I read the first line of the book, The Boogeyman From Planet Lackawanna, my pulse quickened, it read:       

 “As I sped through the dark forest, my heavy sword grew weightless. The sound of footsteps came up behind me and my sword swung into action, but nothing was there. “  

After reading this line you are drawn into the nebulous world of an eleven year old child, who is on the verge of entering an unknown world. - The world of thirteen year old teenagers. –

Chapter one invites you into an exciting, mysterious, enticing atmosphere charged with emotional undertones; you are lead into a place remembered, a time in which adults and pre-teens, for which the story is written, can certainly relate.
