By Marcy Schveibinz
Odd Robert by Will Lowrey is a story about two curious young boys who lived in a small village surrounded by a great forest called Elkin Forest. They love to go on adventures in the forest to discover new things. They rescue a creature that is mysterious to them and the villagers. All they know is that the creature was injured and needed to be taken care of just like any other living being. The readers eventually will learn the identity of Odd Robert and see the desperation and passion for his welfare by those who lost him and those who found him. Due to this passion on both sides, there are several parts of the story that have graphic descriptions of violent images.
The animal rights theme is conveyed throughout the story in an unconventional, obscure way. Lowry’s use of the written word makes it easy for the reader to imagine being right there with the boys on their adventures through Elkin Forest.
Odd Robert by Will Lowry is a 139-page paperback book. It is published by Lomack Publishing and is available for retail on Amazon in paperback and kindle editions. This book may be suitable for ages 16 to adult.
