Review: IF TWO TRAINS LEAVE AT MIDNIGHT by Meredith Rose

Cate leers at her Book of Horrors (A.K.A. her math book) as Tutor Number Six hovers over her. Who wants to know the difference between rational and irrational numbers anyway?
 

“Is it irrational that I have a sudden desire to gnaw off my fingers just to relieve the tedium?” (11)
 

Right away, Cate is clever and sassy; however, I started to question whether she might be delusional, because she often corresponded with Svee, the swan. What the…? I’d like to think that her boredom led to an overactive imagination, that she’s just “strange,” but I’m not too sure.

 
Unfortunately, story only went downhill from there with hardly any direction and no real interest on my part. I thought that this would be a young, quirky story, but it just didn’t pan out to my expectations.

 

My rating: 2 stars
