FIRST OF ALL, what a cover!!!! Six Stars for Cover Art!!!!
And, I loved this book. Gorgeous writing, a truly original concept and so well set up. We meet a young girl living in a mansion awaiting her travelling father's return while under the tutelage of his wealthy employer. Life is boring, but fine. January longs to travel with her father but he always refuses to let her come. What is he really doing? Then little gifts begin to show up in a special box she discovers in the attic, including, finally, a very special book, and she thinks her benefactor is helping her find adventure. And find it she does!!! Along with danger and her very own story, and her very own direction and maybe even purpose. When she begins to wonder what really happened to her mother, she and two friends try to find out after she is forced to leave her home. A fabulous fantasy read, you must have an open mind to other worlds and peoples, a little bit of magic, evil and possibility - and miracles. Her journey away from and toward the most important things, and those she meets and travel with, were fascinating to me. I could not put this one down. I will make haste to grab Harrow's next book (not a sequel) because I just liked her style so much. A very good read!
