I was lucky to get an advanced reader's copy of this book and I'm likewise lucky to be very familiar with Knauss' work. Even though I was off the radar for awhile and left this up as a current read for awhile, the truth was I blazed through it in a few days. Like many of her short stories, this longer Sail to Italy and Sail from Italyis a whimsical and magical tale that will remind you of your childhood fairy tales--but with empowered and intelligent female protagonists, instead of passive princesses.

The lighthearted nature of the story also makes it totally appropriate for a younger audience, so don't hesitate to share it with the teenagers in your life, After all, youth today deserve better fair tales than we were told.
