The Adventurer's Guide to Successful Escapes by Wade Albert White

This series is definitely one that’s going to be a hit with a lot of kids and adults. He keeps you on the edge of your seat while simultaneously cracking you up. From zombie-sharks to floating islands to flying ships there is nothing in this story that is boring. It was probably the best thing about this book.Īlso, the world that White creates in this book is so detailed and beautiful that I myself would love to be transported into this story. The amount of support and love between these three was something I absolutely loved. And they aren’t hard on him if he doesn’t get it quite right. They cheer when something unexpected, but needed happens. And what I loved seeing in all this is the way Anne and Penelope support Hiro.

Hiro, unfortunately, has something destructive happen each time he casts a spell.

It could be anything from hiccups to setting buildings on fire.

Hiro is the magician in the group and the way this world is set up, magic comes with a price. Anne and Penelope have known each other forever but Hiro’s a newcomer and yet they treat him as if he’s one of them. You root for her from the very beginning and White does an amazing job of not only sucking you into this story but making it feel like you're right there along with this group.Īnother thing I truly loved was how supportive and caring each of these characters are. She’s hardworking and spunky and she’s not one to give up. Anne was one of those characters that from the very first page you automatically love. We follow Anne as she finds a way to get out of the institute and off the island she’s been on her whole life. It’s so silly and filled to the brim with such creative and imaginative lands. I absolutely loved this book with everything in me. When Anne comes up with a daring escape it leads to an amazing adventure. Anne has finally reached the age of 13 and plans to leave the institute with her best friend Penelope, but because of the Matrons meddling, Anne has been denied her ticket. Get adopted, reach the age of 13 and be kicked out, or get chosen for an adventure. There are only 3 ways to escape the institute. THE ADVENTURER’S GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL ESCAPES follows Anne who has lived in Saint Lupin’s Institute for Perpetually Wicked and Hideously Unattractive Children her entire life.
