Ife isn’t excited to attend a prestigious boarding school. The tuition isn’t affordable for her parents. She is there because of the Urban Achievers scholarship program. The Changing Man is a decades-old legend of the school that Ife begins to seriously wonder about when another student starts acting strangely. Another classmate’s brother is missing. Is there a connection to the Changing Man? Is the legend true? Ife and two other classmates team up to find out before there are other victims.
THE CHANGING MAN caught my eye as a promising YA speculative thriller read. I liked the premise and the story overall, however the pacing felt inconsistent so I had trouble holding interest at times. There was a lot of boarding school drama included that I kept wanting to get past to get to the thriller/mystery part of the story. Ultimately, this made the ending feel a bit underwhelming.
The concept of THE CHANGING MAN was interesting, though the execution didn’t exactly work for me. I’d still recommend it to others who find the synopsis intriguing as it may be a better fit for them. I’d be interested in checking out future works by the author.
