![]() ![]() The truly great element concerning Hoodoo revolves around the ‘own voice’ nature. Hoodoo endears himself to the audience with his habit for explanation in an attempt to keep the reader better informed. The plot captivates, losing nothing because of its middle school friendly nature. Thrust in a game of cat and mouse, Hoodoo must find a way to save himself and his town from the devious action of a pseudo-devil. ![]() Hoodoo finds himself in a bit of trouble due to some dark hoodoo and a dangerous stranger. The reader follows a child named after the magic of his people: Hoodoo. ![]() In its simplicity, Hoodoo shows the in-depth thought and the determination of a child. Smith writes with an elegance that perfectly depicts the mind of a young boy. One cannot reason, therefore, that just because a book was originally aimed at children, those of the elder verity cannot enjoy such a text. Rowling’s Harry Potter series was/is marketed toward children (and we can see that that series surpasses age limits). Many do not give middle school grade book a chance, believing themselves to be too old for such “simple” writing. ![]()
