Reality Leak

by Joni Sensel

Come follow this trail of riddles lined with popcorn and drawn in invisible ink!
Pants that walk by themselves . . . Secret messages that pop up in the toaster . . . A mysterious factory that plants already-popped corn and makes invisible ink . . . or is it inc?
What is going on in South Wiggot? It all started when Mr. Keen arrived in the dusty little farm town--in a wooden crate. Strange things have been happening ever since, and Bryan Zilcher is determined to find out why, before things can go from strange to sinister.
This compelling adventure is like nothing else you've ever read. Part Saturday morning cartoon, part secret agent mystery--and all zany fun!

Reviews

[Bobbi Jo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this book a lot, but not as much as Firewalkers Trilogy and The Humming of Numbers. I wish there were more like them... I hope Joni Sensel is still writing! I long for another Young Adult Trilogy.

[Sylvia · Rating 2 out of 5]

Daft story about reality leaking away and people experiencing weird things. Weird, but funny-ish.

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lightweight 4th-5th grade magic fantasy.

This book was interesting, yet a bit strange. Definitely different, and has a very crazy amount of twists and turns. All of the characters have their own personality and are certainly different.
