Ever-superstitious Alex Mills will do anything to avoid a jinx. Picking up pennies, knocking on wood, collecting rabbit's feet . . . you name it. That is until she steps on a crack and it actually does break her mother's back. To save her mom, Alex must follow Hubbub Caskside, a trusty leprechaun, on a journey through the end of a rainbow to Haphaven, the world where all of Earth's superstitions draw their power. All she needs is a rabbit's foot to save her mom, but she soon discovers the lucky article won't be so easy to retrieve. Not only is the rabbit's foot guarded by Haphaven's most formidable creature, the Jinx, there's also a forest full of trees that knock back if you don't knock on wood, people named Penny who do not like to be picked up, and a particularly vindictive black cat who will not be crossed. As Alex finds herself desperately searching for a way to save her mom, she learns of a mysterious connection between her family's fate and the rulers of Haphaven. With her mother's life on the line and her own fate at stake, Alex must find the strength within herself to unlock the mystery and take back control of the superstitions that have controlled her life, even if it means crossing the Black Cat once and for all. After stepping on a crack and breaking her mother's back, ever-superstitious Alex Mills must journey to Haphaven, the world where all of Earth's superstitions draw their power. On the search for the lucky rabbit's foot to save her mom, Alex learns that breaking with superstition might be the key to saving her mom, even if it means she could get jinxed along the way.… (altro)

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.

The main character is a teenage girl named Alex, who has become increasingly superstitious when her father passes away. She is superstition to the point where she does not want to celebrate her 13th birthday since 13 is an unlucky number. After arguing with her mother she decides to step on a crack to break her mothers back... and it actually happened. Not going to lie, I laughed when Alex rushed in her house and her mom was on the floor.

So the rest of the time we see Alex doing whatever it takes to save her mother and that includes fighting bad guys in a magical place that is hiding a pretty bad secret. Really fun read with refreshing dialogue that actually made me chuckle a few times. Although, this could have been spread out to 2 graphic novels so that way the pace didn't seem to rush.

Also, was not a fan of the artwork.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Received via NetGalley for review.

With fun illustrations that service the plot well, this graphic novel would be a great addition to any middle-school library. The plot is original and well-developed, and the characters develop realistically. A fun read! ( )

This was great. It's endlessly imaginative and really exciting, and I enjoyed it more than I even expected to! It's a bit of a simple story since it needed to cram itself into such a small volume, but it uses every little inch of world and possibilities and didn't leave me wanting or confused. ( )

Haphaven was a nice story about a very superstitious girl who travels to Haphaven, a world filled with leprechauns harvesting salt and clovers, who tries to find out where all her bad luck is coming from.

It took some time for me to get into the story, even as Alex traveled to Haphaven, but at a certain time its charm won me over and I especially enjoyed the last part of it. There was more to the story than I at first anticipated, which was nice. The art was nice too, but not something very special or memorable.

All in all, a very nice read.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )
