I will truly read anything Cherie Dimaline writes and this book was a great example of why. While it did take a tiny bit of time to get moving, Dimaline created a beautiful narrative that kept me guessing. There was a lot going on in this book, but it never felt like too much or felt as though some plots were not getting the time they deserved. Dimaline has a gift for balancing complex characters and plots without overwhelming a reader.

I loved Winifred and Phil - I could have read about them forever. I wish some of the other characters (Winifred's dad, Penny), had been as well developed, but I also get that it's a YA book with limited space. Definitely a great read and I'm so excited to read more.
