Beloved #1 bestselling author James Patterson delivers a thrilling novel about a teen caught between two worlds and the truths that could set her free—or trap her forever.
My name is Hannah Dory and I need you to believe me
NOW: Hannah Doe is brought to Belman Psych, kicking and screaming, told she is
suffering from hallucinations and delusions.
1347: Hannah Dory and her village are starving to death in a brutal winter.
Hannah seeks out food and salvation in the baron's castle. If she is caught
stealing, she will surely hang.
NOW: Hannah knows the truth: she is Hannah Doe and Hannah
Dory, and she must return to the past before it's too late to save her sister.
Can Jordan, the Abnormal-Psych student who seems to truly care, be the one to
finally help her?
Jordan isn't sure what to believe, and Hannah has even bigger problems: if she
doesn't make it back, her sister will die, but if she keeps going back, she
might never escape.
The Girl in the Castle is a wonderful breath of fresh air for the young adult fiction genre. The premise sounded intriguing which made me want to read the book. I'm so happy that I did! This was a really unique novel that keeps you on your toes as you bounce back and forth through time with the main character, Hannah. I loved that Hannah was both her present self and a girl from the past - at kind of the same time. It's hard to describe without reading the book. What I really loved was the writing style the author chose to use. The book was done in a dual narrative with one living in the present and one living in the past. However, both of the narrators are actually just one girl. The author wrote the story in the first person point of view as well, which is my favorite. It really lets the reader connect with the narrator - or narrators - on a deeper, more personal level than any other POV. (That's my opinion, at least.) I think this style of writing fit the story perfectly and made it easier for the reader to empathize with both girls. I loved getting to know each of the characters and seeing them develop throughout the book. The secondary characters were pretty well rounded and realistic too, which made it even easier to slip inside Hannah's world(s). This is one of those books that you need to read to fully appreciate it because nothing I write will even come close. I highly recommend this book to fans of YA fiction, mysteries, contemporary fiction, thrillers, historical fiction, and readers who enjoy stories about time travel.
