I loved it. Sylvia Branzei, author of the international bestselling Grossology series and author of the Ickstory series<br> The Wikkeling is fresh and edgy. Even when I wasn't reading the book, I couldn't stop thinking about it. It is a great story that makes the reader ponder, What if? and, Could our future look similar to the one in this book? The Wikkeling is a middle-grade novel with the maturity to appeal to adult science fiction readers as well. It is a good read.
