The little details in this book really brought a smile to myself. When Bix finds the library, the first page shows dolls of classic literary characters- Dorothy, Madeline, Alice. City Under the City reminded me of the movie Wall=E in that the characters, minus Bix, are so obsessed with the technology in front of them that they don't know to look around their world. I think this book pushes that idea further in that their current world exists just above where civilization truly lived. This story would be a great lesson about how not everything can be learned in front of a screen, as well as how important family is.

SCI_FI for young readers – LOVE IT!! So many reasons to LOVE this book!!
This book reminder experienced readers of Fahrenheit 451 (one of my all-time favorite books), where books are banned, and education and information are limited in order to control society. What a great way to introduce banned books and the freedom of choice to our younger generations. The EYES and overall theme of this children’s book reminded me of other futuristic SCI- FI classic novels like the Orwellian 1984.

In today’s, present day society I am reminded of how cell phones have taken over a majority of or lives including our private every day family lives. Many scenes of this tale are a reminder of what happens (is happening for many of us) when we pau more attention to our technology than the people and environment around us.

I can express in words what I felt reading this book. It is exciting… it is eye opening… It should be read by adults to children everywhere!!
I may need to buy large quantities of the amazing book and handing it out to every one I know.

And I haven’t even touched on the illustrations. They are colorful futuristic in a uniquely vintage way (not intended to be an oxymoron) honestly the illustrator has capture the future and history in these outstanding images).

BEYOND Grateful to have received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley & Museyon Books.

A perfect adventure book to help illustrate the need to get off screens, spend time with loved ones, to appreciate reading and what books can do, and independence. A timely gift for any age.
