BOONE and JACQUE: Cytrus Moonlight by A.G. Flitcher – Urban Fantasy, Mystery, Psychological Thriller

A.G. Flitcher’s Cytrus Moonlight continues the Boone and Jacque series (book 4 of 4) with a thrilling journey through fear for the young characters – an exploration of psychological traumas and the uncanny manifestations in the surrealistic setting of Cytrus.

Disasters can stir up a society’s darkest fears, spurring suspicion and ignorance. Cytrus Moonlight grows and evolves from its character’s obsessive worries. Boone, Jacque, and Shammy have moved to Cytrus and are living reasonably normal lives until an inexplicable murder disrupts their peace. Jacque’s uncle Leon is killed by poison. As the evidence of the murder case is revealed, more underlying tunnels of unrest come to light in Cytrus.

The circumstances underlying Leon’s murder are unknown. However, Boone has a strange foreboding: he unexpectedly finds himself driving Leon’s car and feels a burning feeling on his neck. Boone begins to feel as if he is being watched – as if there are “a thousand eyes on him.”

Soon, a psychedelic drug is loosed on the town, driving its recipients to witness their greatest fears and embrace repressed emotions.

Mayor John Winterson invites the friends to a Christmas party, where the drug renders everyone into naked fools. The key suspect looks to be the eccentric, maniacal Dr. Button. However, the doctor’s own inexplicable death flips everything upside down.

Jacque notices a monster while detectives are trying to locate the key to the puzzle of death and fear. He is cautioned not to ask questions that draw the wrong kind of interest. Cytrus’ many secrets, and Jacque and Boone’s tendency to attract trouble, make them susceptible to certain people – people who want to prevent them from “causing history in town to repeat itself” just as they did in their former town Saddleton.

This story’s Magical Realism presents a farcical and satirical tone, with dark humor that never leaves the narrative’s surface.

There is a consistent appearance of a bathos element in the YA urban fiction – a quick transition from a serious topic to dramatic dry humor. This ambiguity in the gravity of certain events implies a reflection of the traumatic brains of characters, which manifest themselves much more in a bizarre and topsy-turvy Cytrus. The combination produces an unreal atmosphere throughout the story – much like Terry Gilliam’s Brazil (1985).

This thriller gently explores the idea of free will vs. fate.

Boone and Shammy want to live a calm existence free of the turbulence and trauma they tend to attract, but numerous circumstances lead them along a path that looks to take them to their fate.

Likewise, trauma remains an underlying theme throughout the story, as the novel sheds light on some of the characters’ psychological anguish. Be it Boone’s attempt to overcome past traumas, Jacque and Xantia’s explicit acknowledgment and embrace of their identities as pansexual and transgender, or Myamirah’s fear of Cytrus’ peace, the pent-up emotions spill out profoundly.

Boone and Jacque: Cytrus Moonlight introduces some new bizarre characters while recalling some old ones from the prequel. Flitcher fills the novel with scenes and an atmosphere that is visually and auditorily stimulating, letting characters voice up their innermost thoughts and feelings. The mystery persists till the end as Cytrus’ Pandora’s Box of puzzles keeps readers guessing about the whys of many events and what awaits Boone and Jacque inside.

The Boon and Jacque series achieved Finalist status in the OZMA Fantasy Fiction, 2021 CIBA Awards.

SOMETIMES WHEN I’M BORED by Deborah Serani, Psy.D – Children’s Activity Books, Children’s Development Books, Picture Books

Deborah Serani’s Sometimes When I’m Bored is a colorful children’s book that highlights the challenges of being bored as a child in an inquisitive and reflective way. It also teaches children how to navigate this complex emotion. Dr. Serani is also an award-winning psychologist in practice for over thirty years.

The story starts with a little boy explaining how when he feels bored, that “nothing feels fun.” He gives examples (staring out the window, not preferring his toys, completing multiple readings of all his books) of his complex feelings in the story opening, which are relatable as both a child and an adult. He decides to ask his mother for suggestions on how to cure his reluctance to do all his usual and familiar hobbies. The two share a relationship that is bridged by easy-to-understand language.

Momma reminds him that he could see his feelings of boredom as meaning that “something special is waiting” for him. His well-meaning and good-natured mother provides numerous suggestions to her son. The boy starts spending time resting with his father, or writing a letter to a loved one and following his curiosity. These tender moments are beautiful, the bond the two share is sweet and loving. Kyra Teis’ illustrations are full of vibrant color, with double page spreads showing texture and closeness in the characters.

Sometimes When I’m Bored flows naturally and effortlessly while touching on the challenges of feeling bored as a child and as an adult.

Boredom, although at times can feel inconvenient or inappropriate, teaches us all to use our curiosity and openness. We must, like the little boy in Sometimes When I’m Bored, learn and take the advice from those around us to help nurture these new habits in wonder.

Moreover, if we do not honor our disinterested feelings, we are unable to grow as individuals. Serani teaches children about this lesson in her lovely book and this book, like the others in the Sometimes When series, give a safe space for all to articulate their thoughts without judgement and only in awe.
