Why it took so long to read this I honestly don't know. But now I have, well... pity I can't ever read this again and discover it anew. I'll have to settle for reading and finding new things to enjoy.

There's such a great mix of influences here, from Oz to Narnia to Harry Potter to Peter Pan to Coraline to name every great MG/YA fantasy series. While most of the target audience won't necessarily get the references, it doesn't matter; I plan on doing a display with all of them in hope that they'll discover backlist titles that have been semi-forgotten as so many new books get published.

I loved this book so much! It made my heart smile with its whimsical atmosphere and lovable characters! I cannot wait for more of Nevermoor and more of Morrigan,Hawthorne, Jack, Jupiter, Fen and The Deucalion. Hurry up book 2!
