A review by jmshirtz
The Lion of Lark-Hayes Manor by Aubrey Hartman

5.0

After striking a deal with a water nymph for a winged lion in exchange for her favorite books, Poppy discovers just how much a story can change a person. Along the way she learns to make friends, teach a lion to roar, and speak up for herself.

I loved seeing how the absence of stories affected the people around her in small and striking ways. Some stories just resonate like they’re in tune with in your soul. Ultimately, I enjoyed Poppy’s adventure and I hope a tiny reader finds it and takes its message to heart because, after all, “If you can’t find your place, make it”.
