Ivy's Review
Iris Blackwood and the Curse of Hemlock Island by Chad Prevost follows Iris Blackwood, a twelve-year-old girl who lives on Saint Hyde Island off the Georgia coast. The story starts with her in a box floating in a river, thrown in by someone who doesn't want her on the island. From there, you'll probably get a better summary on the internet, as I followed around three paths before getting bored and confused.
This book got my lowest rating so far, 1 out of 5, because first of all, I do not like choose-your-own-adventure books. I like read-front-to-back-books. Second, the few choose-your-own-adventure books had very different twists, but had the same characters in each. For example, if you search up the characters in this book, I can guarantee I didn't meet them all. All the characters I know are Iris, Theo, and Esmay. I had high hopes for this book after reading Casting April, but Iris Blackwood and the Curse of Hemlock Island was very disappointing.
If you like choose-your-own-adventure mystery books, you might like this one. I don't know. It's not great.
