This book deserves 10 stars if I could give it! There’s a reason it got a Newbery Honor award. It is an incredibly unique and exquisite read, and every time I read it, I cannot put it down. And I’ve probably read it at least 20 times since I first picked it up as a child.
It is a middle grade book, but it is a treasure for all ages. I love Gail Carson Levine, and this book is her best by far. It is a delight to read from Ella’s perspective, and her growing relationship with Char is a wonderful love story. I will forever recommend this book, and I hope those who read it come to love it as much as I do.

Delightful and funny. Ella has so much personality, and I love all the details of the world built in this book. Great supporting characters.
