4.5 stars! This was such a cool story to read. It was long but as I read and stepped away from it I would feel like I just watched an episode on tv, not read a few chapters in a book. It really was a unique reading experience for me and I really enjoyed the story.

What a wonderful imagination and such a gift with words she has.
