Fantasy
 

Plot:

  The Divide is about a thirteen year old boy, named Felix, who has a severely dangerous heart disease. On a trip to the Canadian divide, he stands across the divide, somehow being exactly parted by the divide. He crosses into an imaginary, magical world. He meets many different mythical creatures here, one of his favorites being Betony, a tangle child, or elf. Together, they venture through Betony's world to find a cure for Felix's illness and a way for him to get home.

good:

The author of this book has perfected it in many ways. She interprets many of our mythical creatures, and some real creatures, but gives them new names. She also makes it very clear how, when, and where events happen.

weaknesses:

The main thing I didn't like about this book is the fact that the author switches from character to character, because that makes the story a little bit more confusing.
