Ben's Reviews > Hold

A compellingly written book. I found the dialogue and characters to be the highlights of HOLD. Luke and his friends chat, banter and cope with the challenges of life together in a way that feels deeply substantive. They’re funny, smart and enjoyable to spend time with, whether they’re dealing with love and grief or with the development of a surprising new superpower. It’s a great exploration of life as a high school kid – a theater kid – twisted with the addition of a little bit of magic. Fun to read and emotionally gripping.
