The most captivating part of the book isn’t the upside-down street sign that leads to a museum hidden in the fog. It isn’t even the uncanny exhibits within, like a Perpetual Emotion machine and a green bottle labeled “Lightening Catcher.” Instead, it’s how Jenkins’s beautifully playful language expresses the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder as an adult.
Fiction.
Science Fiction.
HTML: Will Morgan is a creature of habit??a low-budget insurance detective who walks to and from work with the flow of one-way traffic, and for whom imagination is a thing of the distant past. When a job opportunity enters the frame in the form of the mysterious Mr. Dinsdale??curator of the ever so slightly less-than-impressive Curioddity Museum??Will reluctantly accepts the task of finding a missing box of levity (the opposite of gravity). What he soon learns, however, is that there is another world out there??a world of magic we can only see by learning to un-look at things??and in this world there are people who want to close the Curioddity museum down. With the help of his eccentric new girlfriend Lucy, Will will do everything he can to deliver on his promise to help Mr. Dinsdale keep the Curioddity Museum in business.

The writing is a little shaky at times but this is Jenkins' first novel after a career of writing comics and video games. I'm giving him a pass because he has a great imagination and some obviously stellar influences. I'm going to file this on my shelves along with The Order of Odd-Fish, The Somnambulist, and all of my other favorite quirky, science-fictiony stories.
