This was a magical delight. RTC

This book is so magical! It's got some familiar-feeling mythology, but then the familiar turns into something completely unexpected. It's very absorbing -- I hate getting pulled out of this world and Hannah's mystery.

This book isn't very long, but the world is so imaginative and the writing so beautiful that I'm not reading very fast. The author doesn't write down to her young audience, and there are words I'm having to look up!

One thing so far was predictable. But everything else, not at all! This book is keeping me surprised.

This story is very unusual. I can guess at a little bit of where it might be going, but the set-up is original and the writing is complex (especially for a middle-grade/young YA book). I'm very intrigued by Hannah and her relationship to the Wood.
