Welcome to Night Vale

Welcome to Night Vale is by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. The first book in the Welcome to Night Vale series. This book is based on the popular "Welcome to Night Vale" podcast series. Jackie runs the local pawnshop and has a very set routine, until one day she is given a slip of paper that says "King City." The problem: she can't get rid of the paper and can't remember anything about the man who gave it to her. Diane Crayton's fifteen-year-old shape-shifter son wants to meet his dad, who Diane keeps seeing all over town, even though he left town shortly after Josh was born. She has also seen a mysterious man she can't remember who speaks to her of King City. Diane and Jackie attempt to solve their own mysteries and discover King City and the mysterious man may be the key for both of them. A completely quirky and strange science fiction novel. Never having listened to any of the podcasts, I am now tempted to do so - Night Vale sounds like my kind of town.

Ratings: 10th grade -  8 out of 10 - P (profanity).
