⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Where are my coming-of-age fans?
“Dust Bowl Children", by Wile E Young, was a dark retelling of Hansel and Gretel. What a fantastic #audiobook this is!! The narrators are outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed this haunting, creepy story.
Calvin and Abigail lose their mom during the great depression. "Dust Bowl Children" alternates points of view between Abigail and Calvin. Young fleshed out these characters extremely well. The reader gets a glimpse of their grief, confusion, and survival.
Young captured the mood of the great depression perfectly.
I loved the bleak undertones and the dust-rolling landscape.
The beautiful writing brings this story to light.
"Dust Bowl Children" is well paced. I felt Young, spent time orchestrating the development of the plot. There is never a dull moment. There are some fascinating scenes in this book: deformed animals, fear, gore, carrion, missing kids, rotting flesh and unusual innards. "Dust Bowl Children" is much more than the hellish visuals. Young takes us on a dark journey.
