Review: Arctic Zoo by Robert Muchamore
CW: Mental health, violence, terrorism
Arctic Zoo was an interesting take on themes of violence, family, and mental health. It told the tales of Georgia, a once A-grade student at school, who has lived in the UK for her whole life, and of Julius- a Nigerian boy who was a governor's nephew. These two tales barely intersect, as each had their lives in their respective country at first, but then by chance, meet at a mental health clinic in London.
The book touches on domestic terrorism, political violence, and family, as well as a bit of mental health- althought the latter only just felt brushed upon and could've been expanded more upon.
Overall, I felt like this was an interesting and somewhat unique story, and I rate this one a 4 out 5.
