Vivian is lonely, she doesn't belong, and she sees the world differently.  She lives in her dead Great Aunt's house and wanders the streets of Dublin. Believing she is a changeling, she is constantly on the lookout for a portal to take her to another world. Up a tree looking for the land at the top of the faraway tree. Leprechauns, fairies, chasing rainbows. She advertises for, and finds a friend called Penelope; who is almost as unusual as Vivian is. I liked the lists, and playing with words, though I would not want to be stuck in Vivian's world.  Unusual.
