If you have been familiar with Patrick Hatt’s books like me, you probably have a good idea of what to expect from ‘A Not So Singular World’: quirky, with lots of suspenseful twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat, with effective cliff-hangers that will intensely hold your interest. In two words: deeply entertaining!In ‘A Not So Singular World’, you follow the adventures of Jeremiah, whose life is weighed down by his deep longing for his parents. Spending more time with his cat than with other people, Jeremiah is only interested in one other thing: finding his parents. But just when he has almost given up, an accident occurs that not only gives Jeremiah enough to continue his search, but it also sets off a series of mysterious, mind-blowing events that not only propels him down a path toward finding what he’s looking for, but also places him in a difficult situation—heck, he can even save the world from destruction.I love how the author crafted a multi-layered, complex tale that does not fail in keeping our interest high. From the clever inclusion of such mythical beings as Hera, to even managing to paint modern characters such as Rick Tracker (who succeeds in providing the occasional comic relief), ‘A Not So Singular World’ is as endearing as it is fascinating. It’s a clever mish-mash of everything you love about the fantasy and science fiction genre, with mystery throbbing right at its core.Patrick Hatt is probably one of the most prolific authors of books for young adults and children that I’ve ever encountered. Ever since I stumbled upon one of his books (a children’s book called ‘The Honk of Zagonk’), I kept coming back for more. And this is another of those books you’d love as an addition to a growing Patrick Hatt collection of books. I highly recommend this to fans of the genre, and more. Get a copy—also makes a great gift to like minded friends.
