The Enchanted Greenhouse (Spellshop, #2)

by Sarah Beth Durst

“A stranger is just a friend you haven’t yet met.”

Sometimes people are going through things that you can’t see because you’re too busy looking up to them.

When you were young, the world seemed gloriously huge and life infinite, and you were unaware of your own limitations and the barriers the world could erect in front of you.

“I suppose I choose to think it will all be okay because then at least, even if I can’t control what happens, I can control how I feel about it.”

“Words matter.” The right words could heal shattered glass. And hearts. And families. And lives.

“I did what I believed was right,” Rijes said. “It’s my duty—in fact, I believe it’s every person’s duty, especially those in power—to reject unjust laws. To choose kindness and empathy, whenever we can.”

“What I’m trying to say is you make my world better. Every day, in a million different ways. You brought me to life.”
