There’s more to the swamplands than meets the teeth. In this supernatural tale of magic and mysticism, Henry Lemarchand grew up in Philadelphia knowing very little of his family—his father disappeared when he was young, leaving behind only a strange pouch of animal teeth. When he is sent to the Louisiana bayou to spend the summer with his eccentric uncle and cousin in their decaying ancestral mansion, Henry learns about his family’s supernatural legacy—he is part of a long line of rootcrafters, folks who can absorb the powers and memories of anyone whose teeth they touch. In delving into his family’s strange legends, Henry soon discovers that some secrets bite back, especially in the swamplands. This tale of identity awareness and the need for belonging, is set in a world where everything is not as it seems.

This was an audible book, so first the narrator. Josh Hurley narrated this book. His narration is excellent. I feel for younger audiences he has the right cadence and expressions that will bring to life a book for middle grade readers. He is capable of doing several voices that are distinguished from each other. He is a talent and I look forward to seeing more from him in the future. If you see a book narrated by Hurley, the narration will be good.
_House of Teeth_ for me didn't capture my addition as other middle grade books have. There seems to be a contradiction: there is a lot going on simultaneously, and yet the plot is very straight forward without much going on. Jolley has a few elements that are introduced and they don't all fit together in a clear plot. I don't feel he interwove the elements together well.
Let's discuss the magic. Humm, I actually found it kind of lame. No spoilers here I think, but careful. Ok the magic involves teeth. The Lemarchands are able to absorb the memories, and talents of others through touching the discarded teeth. Each of the family wear a set of different teeth and other objects that they can use when needed. This is the part I'm not liking. It seems when written into a corner, the character just has to remember about that tooth that has not been mention or discussed and bam something new can happen. I prefer some boundaries, and less God machine.
Recommended: for adults, maybe not. For young readers? I'm unsure. Give it a try, and let your child listen to it. If he or she seems interested and listens, that's great. if not, its not so bad.
Not very engaging, but well read.
