Read at Your Own Peril

Kevin shouldn't be writing this. And you shouldn't be reading it. After all, reading is now a crime--and for good reason. After the Coma Outbreak, everyone knows what happens to people who read. Their eyes slam shut. And they never get out of their desks again.

A clever, spine-tingling, humorous deep-dive into the dystopian genre with a healthy dose of reverse psychology mixed in. As a lifelong educator, I truly respect the motivating factor of that last feature. I absolutely recommend it, along with Patrick’s debut novel, Kirsten Howard’s Biggest Fan.

This imaginative, fast-paced story, with some eerie parallels to the current year, was enjoyable from start to finish. Middle-schoolers will cheer on young Kevin, whose classmates fall prey to a mysterious coma by reading books, as he works to solve the mystery and rescue his friends. Despite its suspense, there are lots of laughs in Read at Your Own Peril by Patrick Hueller, which is so well-written that I couldn't put down.
