The Opal Deception Review

The Opal Deception review: why this book belongs in the catalog

This The Opal Deception review reads The Opal Deception as a young adult novel that uses the promises of young adult novel to test identity, agency, first moral choices, belonging, rebellion, education, and the shape of growing up. The Opal Deception belongs first on the young adult shelf, but it becomes more useful when the reader treats category as a doorway rather than a verdict. The book also reaches toward fantasy, which is why a single shelf label would be too narrow for The Opal Deception.

The main reason to review The Opal Deception is not reputation alone. Eoin Colfer's The Opal Deception gives readers a specific problem to test: how a work handles identity, agency, first moral choices, belonging, rebellion, education, and the shape of growing up.
