Booklist - 02/15/2020 Nikola is back in action in this sequel to A Problematic Paradox (2018), ready to find and save her father from the Old Ones, just after she aces a few classes at her secret school. At least, that was the plan, up until she meets a highly unlikely ally and makes new enemies that lead her right into a subterranean lair where she finds all the answers to her questions about her father's whereabouts and why she, too, is being pursued. Specifically, they want her brain. Written in the same funny manner as the first, this book also explores the topic of accepting and trusting a person whom others fear or hate. Sappingfield gives Nikola an entertainingly witty voice, letting her somewhat stream-of-consciousness style of narration give readers a clear view of the events unfolding and the people around her, friends and otherwise. It's heartwarming without being too heavy or sappy, and the adventure wraps up tidily, but a last-minute cliff-hanger ending opens the door to further adventures. - Copyright 2020 Booklist.
