My Review:

I received a free copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this story. An odd girl not fitting in in the normal world, who accidentally changes everything and ends up being a normal girl in an odd world who doesn't necessarily fit in. It is a great premise for a story, even if it has been done before. Oddly, the main character, ends up in a land that is based roughly on someone/anyone's figment of imagination. This world is beautiful illustrated and elaborately built upon.



This volume is a little more than an introduction, and definitely left me wanting more. In a land based on imagination, the possibilities of world-building and story-telling are limitless. Well done Otis Frampton, looking forward to more!
