Swyler's writing surpasses her first book. This is a beautiful story, well told, poignant. The main protagonist is an eleven year old girl, Nedda, smart and ambitious. She desires to reach the stars. It is also a story of love, loss, and discovery. It's classified as fiction, yet the story opens in space on board a module traveling to a new planet. The science--chemistry and physics--are not overwhelming and are important to the story. This is a book I would read again.

I think owls are really pretty and I loved reading about the barn owl

It’s a cute story but too young for me

Very interesting book. The main girl character is funny and brave.

I liked that there were blood thirsty giants

I thought it was cool that there is a real fountain that you can visit.

Debut novel. Terrific mystery with a paranormal twist.

Cute book on reminding us to slow down

Really fun book! It helped to know when to say I’m sorry
