You are not prepared for the number of breaths she lets out that she didn't know she was holding.

i had read this book when i was a teen and completely missed the rest of the series coming out so i got a lot of catching up to do lol this book was very cute, the settings were really beautiful, the only thing i kind of didn’t like is all the characters looked the same in my mind, i know they all have blue eyes but i felt a lot of people had the same hair color and hair style but maybe im just not remembering right. loved the ending and how she found family in her new life!

The most delightful middle grade novel I've read for some time! 12-year-old Sophie has felt like a misfit her whole life because she's telepathic, but when she discovers she is actually an elf she is taken to be trained in her powers at Foxfire, a prestigious school for young elves. Loved the friend group that she formed at school, Fitz and Dex and and Keefe especially.

I'm having a hard time figuring out why this book isn't more popular, and why I'm not hearing about it all over the place. I mean, obviously I heard about it at one point, or I wouldn't have added it to my tbr list, but I think it should definitely be more well known. It's really good.

I have read a few reviews that call it a copy of Harry Potter. While I honestly think it's just about as good as Harry Potter, I wouldn't call it a copy at all. Yes, there are some similarities. But that's true of just about all books nowadays. There really is nothing new under the sun. There are bound to be similar elements in books, especially if you read a lot, and more especially if you're looking for them.

I think this book stands on its own, and is a fantastic addition to its genre. The setting was really fun and memorable. I loved the main character, and there were a lot of side characters to like as well. The plot moves at a great pace, and was never slow or boring. I would definitely recommend this book.
