Not As We Know It
Not As We Know It | Tom Avery
4 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A moving fable set in the eighties: E.T. meets A Monster Calls. Jamie and Ned are twins. They do everything together: riding their bikes, beachcombing outside their house, watching their favourite episodes of Star Trek. But Ned is sick, and one day, he may leave Jamie behind. When they discover a strange creature on the beach, Ned wants one more adventure and decides to keep him secretly in their garage. But Jamie begins to hope that the creature might bring some miracle, and stop his brother from going where he can no longer follow.

This book was so sad but also very sweet. It is set in the 1980s with a supernatural aspect that makes it a little like Stranger Things. There's tons of Star Trek TOS references too, which is awesome. If you liked A Monster Calls or the sisters aspect in Raina Telgemeier's Ghosts, you'll love this. It's very similar in tone.

It wasn't for me. I didn't like the story or the sentence structure.
