The Mostly True Story of Jack
By: Kelly Barnhill
Genre: Juvenile fiction
Pages: 319
Published: 2011
Read: October
3 out of 5
This book is for fans of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Tweens
will be attracted to the premise of Jack’s story because it is mysterious and
the kids know more than the adults in this story. The chapters are short and catchy to keep the
readers interest. Jack is a boy who
feels invisible to everyone- even his parents. He has never even seen a
photograph of himself - that is until he abandoned by his mom to his aunt's and
uncle's house. People begin to acknowledge him and he finds a photo of himself.
Something is strange, Jack just isn't sure what it is or why? However, with the
help of his new friends in his aunt’s and uncle’s town the mystery will be solved. The only downfall to this book is there are a
lot of characters and plots so the younger readers may have trouble following along
as the story develops.
