Mysery

by Matt Thomas

Matilda Mysery Downes is tired of her life in the quiet Village of Greenmoss and wishes for something bigger and more exciting, but she should have been careful what she wished for.
The 1920's girl ends up in present day London, lost and confused on how she got here. She knows that she does not belong and yet stays to explore, meeting a charming gentlemen called Richard on her journeys.
This story is about her travels and how the new coloured world effects this plain, grey-scale girl and what happens when she overstays her welcome.

I have been waiting for this book to be published for a while now, and I have to say it was so worth the wait! Mysery is from 20's, suddenly finding herself thrown into modern day London, a world of vivid colors, machines, tall buildings and where being different is not acceptable. The one stranger who befriends her is Richard, who looks past her drab, colorless appearance, makes her feel safe, protects Mysery and shows her the beautiful sites of London ( thank you, Mr. Thomas for your impeccible attention to detail! I felt like I was really there taking in the sites right along with Mysery) Amid stares and snide comments from his peers, Richard shows her that "different" doesn't matter...or DOES it? I truly enjoyed this book, and although I am unsure if Mr. Thomas intended for it or not, it really did make me think about how we treat others, and how a simple act of friendship can mean so much more. Which left me thinking, could YOU let go of someone if you knew it was the right thing to do? I will warn you, have some tissues handy:)

This felt like it was built entirely on one stereotype and idea with no research included. Yes, maybe it would be overwhelming and with more artificial then in the 1920s. But grayscale? Geez.
