WOW this book was Really good. I've been stuck in a niche of the same genre for a very long time, so I started this book less enthusiastically than others. Needless to say I was absolutely enthralled. It feel like one of those stories you hear as a kid and think about sporadically throughout your life- comforting in its nostalgia but vague enough to let you flesh out the world as well.

I still feel the way I felt when I posted one of my updates; this book is charming yet unsettling. The end was touching and made me sigh a get misty eyed.
"Nobody actually looks like what they really are on the inside. You don't. I don't. People are much more complicated than that. It's true for everybody."

"I'm going to tell you something important. Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. The truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one in the whole wide world."

This book was a little hard to get into for such a short book. The book is about unexplainable magic, kind of a dark fairy tail. This novel felt like a young adult novel with some adult themes thrown in, but we se it through a 7 year olds eyes, so most go over his head. I definitely had a Coralaine feel it.
