I really enjoyed this book! Definitely better than anything of Mary Downing Hahn's I remember reading as a kid. It was more magical rather than paranormal and spooky, which is something I prefer. I really only dinged it for having such an unsatisfying ending. It feels like it was setting up for a sequel, but nope, this is it. I guess I'm just not the sort of person who enjoys open-ended stories!
