Book Review...The Lost Storyteller by Amanda BlockRebecca hasn't seen her father Leo since she was six. All she knows is that, once upon a time, he was a well-loved children's TV star. But when a journalist turns up asking questions about her father, Rebecca starts to wonder whether there is more to Leo's absence. Looking for answers, she unearths a book of fairy tales written by Leo and dedicated to her but what use are children's stories to her now, all these years later?Tentatively, Rebecca tries to piece together her father's life. Yet her mind keeps returning to the fairy tales. Perhaps they are the key to unlocking the mystery of her father, the lost storyteller; to revealing who he was, what he went through and even where he might be now.I really enjoyed this story! It takes a deep look into the bonds between a parent and their children and the effects mental illness can take on these relationships. The fairy tales written by Leo were wonderful and probably one of my favorite parts! They are dark, mysterious, magical and full of secrets! The characters have depth and are complex but my favorite was Leo. He really shines in this story. His love and dedication to his daughter was a beautiful thing to read about. It's a heartwarming story of family, love and hope! Thank you Mobius and Amanda Block for sharing this beautiful story with me!
