Avery is an exceptional child. Everything he does is precise, from the way he washes his face in the morning, to the way he completes his homework -- without complaint, without fuss, without prompt. Zib is also an exceptional child, because all children are, in their own way. But where everything Avery does and is can be measured, nothing Zib does can possibly be predicted, except for the fact that she can always be relied upon to be unpredictable. They live on the same street. They live in different worlds. On an unplanned detour from home to school one morning, Avery and Zib find themselves climbing over a stone wall into the Up and Under -- an impossible land filled with mystery, adventure and the strangest creatures. And they must find themselves and each other if they are to also find their way out and back to their own lives.… (mere)
I adored the writing style in this read. It was a read that followed two totally different kids as they go on unexpected adventure that just captured me. This book is one that has so many different levels and reminds me of classics like alice in wonderland but also into the woods. It is a book that has some many amazing quotes and just I loved the adventures they got up to. I really liked how this book set up the starting book in the series. I really loved the two main characters and the unique writing style. It was such a good read and will de be checking out book 2! ( )

I wish it had been clearer that this is a spin-off. On its own this novella felt rather flimsy to me. It’s fine, definitely not bad; I just didn’t find it particularly gripping, and can’t identify why. I listened to the audiobook, which I picked up on a whim because I enjoy folktales and enchanted forests.
I have not read Middlegame, (the origin of this story) or any other work by Macguire/Grant/Baker. Perhaps this this stands up better if you have. ( )
I understand that this is a companion piece to another novel but I enjoyed it own it's own merits. This is a Alice-like adventure for 2 very different children who find themselves thrown together in a nonsense world of talking owls, an improbable road and crow girls. ( )

In the same ordinary town, on the same ordinary street, lived two very different, very ordinary children who had never quite managed to cross paths with one another.
