The Stranger from Abilene – paperback, 9780451234315, Joseph A West

This novel reads like a letter written just for you.

You will find that the illustrated scene breaks are like mini paintings.

A nice touch is the novel’s use of recurring motifs and patterns.

The book is illustrated with vintage prints that evoke nostalgia.

What I like about this activity book is how it encourages creative thinking.

The writing in this novel is crisp and every word seems to matter.

This activity book includes connect-the-dots that reveal surprise pictures.

This novel is a journey that feels both epic and intimate.

A nice touch is the illustrated half-title page with a hidden clue.

What I like is that the book is illustrated without overwhelming the text.
