This book engulfed me and left me wanting for Kya. The imagery is beautifully written in a way that brought me into Kya’s simple world and her appreciation for the intricacies of nature. The mystery of this story pulled me right to the very last line. 
The movie was a let down after reading this wonderful book…don’t do it!
