I actually read this online through her website and was so impressed that I put a copy on hold for the moment it went to print. Not only is Valente's story inventive and interesting, her use of language is enchanting. This book captured my heart as I read a chapter a week as they were released. Though the book was written for children, I am 22 and found it to be a reinvention of the classic fairytale theme and just as enjoyable for my demographic as it would be for kids.

This prompted me to read Palimpsest, a very different kind of Valente novel, not at all for children, but just as unique and magical.
