Nancy Springer has done it again! Enola is more delightful than ever in this fantastic celebration of independence, intelligence, and literature!
I feel like these newest entries in the series have been particularly excellent in their choice to embrace the feminine while disavowing the way in which society puts women in boxes. The historical elements, particularly the focus on real ways in which women of the period bucked the expectations placed upon them, were brilliant!
I can't wait for more!
