I adore mixed media books, so I was excited from the first page. I also think the Alaska setting is going to be so exciting, and add an extra layer of mysteriousness and atmosphere to the book. The flashback to 1973 was bananas too, the thought of an entire town vanishing both gives me chills, but intrigues me SO much that I cannot wait to continue the story! It also sounds like Sophia's story will be an emotional one, growing up in the foster system. I am so, so excited to continue the story!
