The main character, Mattie, has an obsession with Harry Houdini. This is unique as in most magicians are male. I love that there is an agoraphobic character as well. It was interesting to see how Mattie developed during the book.
The story was interesting but the author's writing style was a little hard for me to follow at times. I think that teens, especially those who feel lonely or have ever wanted to disappear will identify with this book. The quirky characters saved the story for me. I would be interested to see how the author's writing develops in the future.
Thank you Bookish First for the advanced copy of The Art of Escaping. I look forward to reading and reviewing more books in the future.
