I was immediately charmed by Sarah, and then met Grace who grabbed my heart and wouldn't let go. Sarah reminded me of myself - her love of books and how books spoke to her. Now, books didn't actually "speak" to me, but I grew up feeling that, after looking at the book covers and reading the blurbs on the backs of the books, they talked to me quietly letting me know if I should read them or not. The magic that occurs in the first several chapters drew me in and made me want to keep reading. I can't wait to read this book!
