watercome15's review against another edition
Thank you to Booktasters and the author for sending me this copy!
From the very first chapter, I found this story super sweet and lovely. It's nicely paced got the age range, I fell in love with Clarissa and her personality. I loved the relationship between Clarissa and Oak. It's all very sweet and well-written. A curious kid, talking trees, and a cat, perfect recipe for me.
Clarissa is super interesting, I loved her curiosity and sense of adventure paired with the way that the author wrote Clarissa's surroundings, it's a delight to read. I loved that everything was related to something, in a way that there are no missed plots or information they were very easy to follow and enjoyable to read.
Fire was such a dynamic addition that I enjoyed to bits, I loved he explained that he isn't bad nor good, I liked the conversations that went on between him and Clarissa. The plot twist was very well-written too and took me by surprise.
I absolutely loved the storyline of the father, I loved how he changed after Clarissa's mother and how Clarissa noticed it. I loved the way he handled the fire spirit situation so maturely. And how you can tell that Clarissa got her curiosity from him and how his job almost encouraged that side of her.
Overall, this was a pleasant easy read for the age range, with a great pace to keep the attention of the reader.

A really sweet story about a girl who misses not only her mother, who died recently, but also the father her dad used to be before. It's a very short book so three is not much time for world building or really getting to know the characters.
However, because if this it starts right in where the action is about to begin and things move quite quickly. I loved the idea of talking to a tree or the fire and and listening to their stories. Clarissa is really brave despite her fears and its clear how much she cares for the wellbeing of everyone around her, even the trees. The cover and chapter page art are so pretty.
