I really enjoyed this middle grade book about a girl who finds a few magical creatures near her home. With some inspiration from Narnia (a winged lion who is kind), and a dangerous water nymph (who is stealing books and book memories), it kept me engaged to know what would happen next. It’s a great book for bookish people, also!

“She knows
she makes the world beautiful
when she blooms in her own time.”

Loved in her author’s note, she says “Some voices take longer to find than others. 
Until then, it’s up to us to change the way we listen.”
