Book Review: Verdigris Deep by Frances Hardinge

Image result for Verdigris Deep by Frances Hardinge    Ryan, Chelle, and Josh missed the last free bus from Magwhite home and must now find a way to get bus fair for the lay-over bus so they would not get in trouble with their parents. When their plan to return a shopping cart for the money goes awry they seek out the local wishing well, pulling 3 coins from its depths. Now they owe the goddess of the wishing well the wishes they have stolen from her and must now grant them. Be it a motorcycle, a new robot toy, or even revenge. With the help of some new powers they now know the wishers wishes but how far are they willing to go?
    This was an odd book that had me simultaneously confused and enthralled. It is one of those books that you can't help but enjoy while you're reading but once you set the book down you ave to focus on it to even remember what you have read. I love that it was very obviously written by a brit and they used some very British terms that we don't use here; such as fag for a cigarette, and trolley for a shopping cart. It is often fun to read things from another country and view it from their perspective for once. All in all it is a cute book. It is a teen fantasy fiction.
This book is available on Amazon for $8.99 at https://amzn.to/2TgnVh2.
