IR VERDICT:
THE TOWER OF BLUE by Eric Locsh is an engaging, descriptive tale of a 16-year-old boy who sets out to find himself while dealing with, in his mind, a troubled existence. This fantasy-based story allows the reader to discover past and present windows of truth–as well as imagination–that open and shut in the teen’s mind, as the boy makes his journey from anger, fear, reality and uncertainty to a supposedly better place in the world.
