Stravaganza my beloved.
This story feels like home to me. It's a world I so wish to be real, something I wish I could travel to, because imagine how cool it would be to find an item that takes you to a lush world at night. Although I don't think I would function very well if I had that little sleep 😅

After finishing this for the millionth time I still feel moved by it and I still feel that sense of loss you get when you finish something you were so invested in. I don't think this book will ever move from its rightful place of my #1 favourite book.

Thank you Mary Hoffman for giving me this beautiful escapism I needed in my teens. I will fondly revisit this time and time again, no matter how old I get.
