Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Oksa Pollock is a teenage girl who, quite suddenly, had to move with her family from France to England. Luckily her best friend, Gus Bellanger, and his family moved too. Before long, Oksa discovers she is capable of doing some weird things. That's also when things start to get a bit weird...
Oksa is not a normal girl. Neither is her grandma a normal person. Nor some others she knows. They all share a secret. They all have some powers. They all have an agenda. And Oksa finds herself catapulted into the middle of all of this.
The book is interesting and refreshing to read, also for adults. To keep up with all the different creatures and plants, however, is a challenge. The text also uses a large number of less common words which sometimes can be a bit daunting for non-native speakers. Also how some of the creatures express themselves is not always easy to understand. Probably a good book for native and advanced speakers of the language to enhance their vocabulary, but less recommended for non-native speakers who don't have a good grip on the language yet.
