"Frances Ruiz has crafted a delightful little story here, mixing
elements of Harry Potter and Anne McCaffrey with a batch of likeable
characters in an imaginative fairyland...Ruiz’s writing carries the
story along with a gentle simplicity that is both charming and
addictive...Long after I closed the book, I could feel my imagination
humming with golden fairy wings and underwater castles." --Erin
