The Land of Elyon, Book One: The Dark Hills Divide | Patrick Carman

Rating:

Alexa Daley has always been curious, and gotten into trouble because of it. But when her old friend, and the founder of life as they know it, suddenly dies, Alexa finds herself in an ever-growing web of trouble she isn’t sure how to deal with.

Alone with Warvold at the time of his death, there are those who suspect Alexa of knowing some secret. But all she really has are questions. Why did Warvold tell her that story about the blind men? What does it mean? What’s really outside the city walls?

Little does she know that the answers to those questions will only bring more confusion, as her adventures take her beneath her home and out into the wild, where the animals are waiting to inform her of further impending danger to life as she knows it.

Interesting take on how our actions can have unexpected consequences, including giving us the opposite of the outcome we’d intended.
