Patrick Hatt—the up-and-coming versatile children’s book author—can make your head spin in the most delightful of ways. I’ve just finished reading ‘A Not So new World’ and here I am again, gushing about the next book, ‘A Not So Perfect World’, which I realize now is actually a “perfect” tale: after all, what can be more perfect than a time-travel action adventure that has dragons and knights and even mythical figures thrown into the mix?In ‘A Not So Perfect World’, Patrick Hatt further ups the ante in terms of excitement, adventure and suspense—Jack and Emily, now with Mason, journey to find their way home. But it’s not easy—in fact, it’s almost next to impossible, as finding the Earth’s right time fraction is extremely tricky, leaving the journey more like a trial and error thing than anything else. The result: they encounter a dizzying array of creatures and characters, from dragons to even ancient gods long consigned as mere myths, like Hera and Zeus and all their duplicity.Needless to say, young reader will shriek in delight as they read about the adventures of the Death Defying Three. The book also offers the youngest readers (that is, if you read this to them) opportunities to ask relevant question, such as you can expound on the mythical characters and use it as a chance to educate them. Nevertheless, this is a book that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages—thanks to the author’s uncanny knack for writing deeply entertaining, “fun” tales.Highly recommended for those looking for a nice, light read, with lots of twists and turns that keep you turning the pages, ‘A Not so Perfect World’ only further proves that this series deserves to be followed. Get a copy. Nothing but five stars from me.
