Description
Middle Grade Fantasy
Get ready to meet the blue haired girl from Baltimore who saves the world.
Following maps her grandmother drew before she disappeared, Maya Loop, the brave, blue-haired girl from Baltimore, has to depend on her wits and bravery to face the alien race of Landions who have taken her grandmother and best friends to an underground world of creatures living beyond the limits of time. The Landions are not only trying to end the human race but erase them completely. A delightfully fast-paced story crackling with energy, Maya Loop meets young readers in the wide-open world of being a kid where everything feels like magic.

Maya is a blue haired girl from Baltimore and she can do anything!
Maya Loop is Coraline meets Alice in Wonderland! Honestly, Maya starts out kind of annoying - too cool for school, and definitely too cool for the country town and boy she moves into next to. However, she has a very Coraline vibe about her (the blue hair is just a bonus) that I adore. She becomes more endearing as the book goes on - especially when she is called out, “no one says nutso anymore” -ha!
I really loved the book! I think it has a lot of great writing choices #MolesWithGoals #LoopsMakingLeaps that are fun and engaging, but it also tackles a lot of real life issues in a fantastical way.
For example, the comparison of the bugs and the people of Baltimore was heartbreaking, and well done. Even though it was just a paragraph or two - I think it’s extremely important to include these topics in middle grade books.
I adore this book, will buy it when released, and will definitely pick up more from the author. A great novel about a very brave, blue haired girl from Baltimore who can do ANYTHING.
A few spelling mistakes, and the use of Indian should be changed to Native American* would be my only complaints really. (chapter 24 - copper pennies)
