Gemeinhart's writing style is reminiscent of a classic fairy tale. Slightly dark and sinister, with innocent children as main characters, left to fend for themselves by a lineup of adults who fail them. That's not to say there aren't redeeming elements to the arc. But, the emotions are heavy on this one. Ultimately a tale of friendship. Ravani and Virginia will last with you for awhile.
