The Rusty Key in the News
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, we present to you our latest light of hand, our review of ‘Horten’s Miraculous Mechanism’ by Lissa Evans!
Did ‘Horten’ get our gears turning? We’ll tell you!
We feel like we just went on a harrowing, exhillerating, time travelling adventure, but really we just finished reading Pete Hautman’s spectacular ‘The Obsidian Blade’!
Find out what earned this Sci-Fi epic a spot in our Golden Key Collection!
After raving about ‘The Obsidian Blade’, we got in touch with author Pete Hautman to discuss the Sci-Fi genre, and some of the controversial themes in his new book.
