I was fortunate enough to have read an ARC of this YA fiction and thoroughly enjoyed it! The land of Story and the adventures of Una will delight the YA market as well as some older readers. It is a clever and engaging read with a lot of twists and turns as you follow the adventures of young Una Fairchild and her friends. Definitely a novel to add to your reading list.
