King, A. (2014). Glory O’Brien’s history of the future. New
York: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
Definitely hard to put this book down. Although filled with fantasy and such, the power this young girl acquires is fascinating to say the least. Fighting the demons of her mother's end and her own struggles, she wonders if perhaps her mother's end is the way to go. Her ability to see the future and past and everything in between reveals to her an unappealing future that shows no promise of any sort. She somehow feels that she owes it to herself to do what she can help to prevent this future she sees from happeing. The question is just how much she can do to help.
Although a bit on the supernatural side, this novel is interesting and intriguingl, making the plot elaborate and creative. The way she copes with her abilities is commendable and makes her out to be an extremely strong character.
Maybe it wasn't the type of literature I normally read, but like I said earlier, it is definitely something that you will want to read.
