Welcome to Litsy!

I applied for a job reviewing children‘s books and made it to the final round, and they gave me this book to write a sample review of. Right off the bat the main character (accidentally) kills her brother, which was off-putting. I do miss the art on the chapter titles of books for an audience this age, though.

I think this story could be an instant classic for the right sort of reader. It's a bit like Coraline, Howl's Moving Castle and Alice in Wonderland. Cecilia plunges in the Land of Yesterday desperately trying to put her family back together.
I'd give it a million stars.

ABSOLUTELY ALL THE FEELS. This MG about a girl who goes into the Land of Yesterday to chase her mother—who‘s depressed after the death of her son, the MC‘s brother—is so meaningful and beautifully written. Five Widdendreams: 🏚🏚🏚🏚🏚

2018 is the year I‘m switching from GoodReads to Litsy so you‘ll be seeing a lot more of me around here soon. Here‘s my last read of 2017, a spooky and soulful MG debut that you‘re going to love!
