I thought this book was a fun read. I really enjoyed how this book time travel and set it for the middle grade set. I also liked how this book went on adventure with cousins and focused on that relationship. I think he first half of the book had some pacing issues, but I really enjoyed the second half of the read! I also loved the adventure elements. I will def be checking out book 2 in this series. This book also tackled, grief and death of a family member and was just a fun read. It did not wow me, but i enjoyed it.

The Land of Stories meets The Magician's Nephew in a brand-new middle-grade series from bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Ryan Graudin Have you ever blinked, and thought you saw something that was gone a moment later? Have you ever turned to pick up an item, only to find it wasn't where you left it? Jake and Marisol are cousins. Jake's great at leaving things behind - his mum's a diplomat, and he never settles anywhere for long. His latest friends and new favorite places are lost with depressing regularity. Marisol's great at finding things - she's American and she's Bolivian, and this cross-cultural childhood has taught her to pay attention to details. She's got such an eagle eye, and she's so gifted at finding things, that sometimes she even wonders if things find her. Together, Jake and Marisol are about to discover The World Between Blinks. The place where everything we lose - from the front door keys to ancient cities buried under hot desert sands - eventually appears. The trick's going to be finding a way home. Before they're lost forever. A brand-new middle-grade adventure from bestselling authors Amie Kaufman and Ryan Graudin.

** I received this as an E-ARC from Edelweiss Plus and the publisher in exchange for my honest review, Thank you!** 

This was a fun and interesting concept. I really enjoyed that family was a major aspect of this book. I found that with this particular middle grade, I had to suspend my disbelief and just accept the way things worked in the world between. I did really enjoy that we had some history and all of these lost things in the world between. I loved the entire portion about memories ( if you read it then you will know). Overall I had fun reading this book. It was short, fun, and easy to read. I know kids that would absolutely love it and would for sure recommend it.

This was a fun story that has so many cool historical references and great messages for kids. It was enjoyable even for a more mature audience and such a cool concept. 

Thank you to Harper Collins for my copy for review

Ik vind dit boek echt super logisch. The World Between Blinks is er gewoon. Het bestaat. En Jake en Marisol mochten het aan ons bekend maken via dit boek. Het boek is geschreven voor een jonger publiek, maar dat maakt niets uit voor het verhaal. Ik had letterlijk 1 moment waarop ik dacht; oke nu is het misschien iets te langdradig en BAM daar gebeurde weer iets wat ik prachtig vond om op dat moment te lezen. Het boek is geschreven vanuit Jake en Marisol en dat maakt dat je het verhaal ook echt vanuit 2 verschillende standpunten meekrijgt. De historie die je meekrijgt in dit boek, op een leuke manier, het lezen van het verhaal uit de verschillende perspectieven en natuurlijk de schrijfstijl maken samen dat je door het verhaal heen vliegt. Just believe!
