This book is for readers, as most books are, but this one in particular is for two kinds of readers who often can be found within the same one person - those who read to run away from something and those who read to run toward something.

It's a beautifully written and enchanting story about a young girl (who I both see parts of myself in and wish to be more like), a family in disrepair, escape, and adventure.

Reading this book has taken my already quite unquenchable desire to consume stories and multiplied it tenfold; it gave that feeling truth and meaning, and has left me quite honestly with a bit of discontent with the world we know and a wanderlust to match.
