The Wonder of All Things by Jason Mott - Reviewed by Edee

I received this advanced uncorrected proof from a Goodreads.com giveaway. I really loved both the premise of the book and the topics that it explores.  The Wonder of All Things takes off quickly when a horrific accident occurs and the main character Ava miraculously heals her friend Wash.  Like Mr. Mott's previous novel The Returned, The Wonder of All Things makes you think about how society would react to certain scenarios.  This novel describes the chaos that ensues in the small town once word of Ava's miracle healing gets out.  The reader is able to see how both Ava and her family struggle with her gift.  Does Ava have a responsibility to heal others?  Can their family capitalize on all of the offers being made to them so that they can finally escape poverty? At the end of the book, I was left wanting more closure for the characters and I felt that some of the storylines were left unresolved.  That said, I did enjoy the book and felt it was definitely worth reading.  I think Mr. Mott's voice is important in literature today and I think his work brings something different to the publishing world.
