Sinossi
A Los Angeles si vedono molte cose strane. Eppure le visioni di Leopold Berry, nerd diciassettenne orfano di madre e con un padre con cui non riesce a parlare, sono molto, molto più strane: un procione con la coda in fiamme, un uomo che infila un dente nel parchimetro... Ogni allucinazione sembra rimandare alla sua grande ossessione, "Le avventure di Max a Sunderworld", una serie tv che guardava da bambino. Ma quelle stranezze annunciano una verità molto più grande e spaventosa di un vecchio programma. Perché Sunderworld non solo è reale. Ma è anche in grave pericolo. Dall'autore della serie culto "Miss Peregrine. La casa dei ragazzi Speciali".

Recensioni
This was the strangest story I have read in a very long time. It was a wonderful start to what I hope will turn into a great series. The world building was strange especially since Sunder was described both as the tv show and the reality we eventually step into. the magic is interesting and fairly u Leggi tutto
Thank you to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group for providing a digital review copy in exchange for my honest opinion. Wow, what a surprise this book was! I remember requesting the ARC simply for the cover alone, and am so glad I made that decision. Leopold is a silly, charming, r Leggi tutto

First of all, as someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, I gotta say I love the cover design resembling a VHS tape. I only wish I liked the book as much but unfortunately it fell way short of its potential. The author wrote the popular Miss Peregrine series and my hunch is due to that success the edi Leggi tutto
This book is highly unusual. It takes you all over L.A., in increasingly bizarre ways. You will be left to wonder if Larry Leopold Berry is important…or not. You will probably have the same opinion about Leopold’s father that I do. Although it’s strange, not unlike how I would imagine a profane Harry Leggi tutto
While I was writing this review in my head, I realized so much of what I wanted to say would be spoilers. I don't want to make a review that nobody can read until they read the book, I want to write a review so everyone reads this book. And that's purely for the personal reason of getting a full ser Leggi tutto
A flaming raccoon and a man inserting his teeth into a parking meter is such a great idea, that the rest of the story really needs to live up to that. And well, it really didn't. In fact, I felt that as soon as events started progressing, the story completely forgot how weird it started off in the f Leggi tutto
This was a wildcard that seriously panned out for me! It's weird but I honestly loved it. This concept of a magic world existing alongside a real city is a favorite for me. And having lived in Los Angeles for awhile, I loved the infusion of magic into all the quirky, old, and odd places that exist t Leggi tutto
