Another winner by Kevin Wilson
Kevin Wilson's latest novel, Nothing to See Here, requires you - like the White Queen - to believe an impossible thing. But put that aside because the rest of the book is totally believable. It deals with the incredible devastation visited on children when parents who should be protecting them just check out. It looks at the incredible difference between the lives of the rich and subsequently powerful and the rest of us. It explores what people will do to hold on to that power. And it looks at the possibility of second chances - often not the chance you thought you had. It does this with a thoroughly likable andmore

Nothing to See Here
I wanted to like this book as it had a curious plot but didn't really like Lillian. She did change as the book progressed and her relationship with the kids did redeem her but not enough for me to really care about her. I did want to find out how the book would end but Lillian was too flawed for me. Cannot recommend.

Nothing to see here
I rated this book 3 stars. I liked this book because I thought it would be unique and different and it was. I also liked this book because I like books about children and I thought it was going to be a book about children being saved. I didn’t enjoy that the characters were not realistic I couldn’t imagine any of them being real. in this book the children lit on fire when they got nervous. Even though this is fairy-tale it felt more depressing. Overall this book seemed to be a 3 starred book.

Nothing to See Here
This book was a quick read which was perfect for summertime. When it arrived for my review I was a little surprised that I had chosen a book about children who spontaneously combust. As I go into it though I was pleasantly surprised by how the author handled the topic and how quickly the story line progressed. The characters are well developed and unexpectedly likeable. I'm glad it gave this book a chance; it deserved it.

Another quirky read from Kevin Wilson
When someone says, "nothing to see here," you know something interesting is happening. In Kevin Wilson's latest book by the same title, the "something" is 10 year old twins who catch on fire when they're upset or feel threatened. It's a less than ideal scenario for their political father who has his eyes on the White House. Plus he hardly even knows these kids, who've been living with his recently deceased ex-wife since they were little.

Enter Madison, his problem-solving wife. When Madison reaches out to her high school roommate Lillian with a mysterious job prospect, Lillian comes running. Being the governessmore

It's not the sci fi that's unbelievable
As a confirmed skeptic, I am hard to please when it comes to sci-fi literature. The story better cohere as an ideology, and it better follow scrupulously its own set of internally-logical rules, or I'm gone. "Nothing to See Here" did a remarkably good job of carrying me along its odd sci-fi journey. I could suspend disbelief adequately to keep plugging along, even as the sci-fi gimmickry got pretty intense. What I could not fathom was the strange choices made by the allegedly normal characters, nor could I believe their back stories or motivations. Any time a man writes from a woman's perspective the hair risesmore
