I have always enjoyed Ms. Bradley's books, and this one was no exception. Romy is a great protagonist, and I indentified very strongly with her indenpendance and love for animals. I was disappointed in one of the big "plot twists" that was transparent very early in the novel, but it does not distract from the joy of reading. It was also nice to read about a real female hero, who gets her period and does not wear skimpy outfits.
