Short and sweet and very very cute. Alix E Harrow does magic well.

Hugo 2019 Best Short Story: Winner
The craziest short story! About a librarian who takes notice of one of her patrons, a depressed-looking boy who needs escapism. I love stories about library and fantasy. Portal Fantasies? Just sign me in!

This was beautiful and I'm trying not to cry in the used book store I work at.

Oh, my. This is what a short story, at its best, can be. Found a link to this story (free, Apex magazine) by chance in a GR user's review of one of Harrow's novels and now I am overcome with the need to read more of the words that have come from this author's head. Wow.

Una delicia de relato que me ha enamorado. No me extraña que ganase el Hugo. Es divertido, emotivo, cargado de amor por la literatura, especialmente la fantástica, y las bibliotecas... Los guiños y referencias literarias dan sabor a la historia sin saturar.. Una maravilla.
