The context and background of Polly's stories is usually pretty tough but they are so magical and gentle that even this sensitive soul can enjoy them. Lots to love and explore, but one thing I found jarring was the wisdom and eloquence of the narrator - I'm guessing she is around 9 or 10 years old in the book, but her voice was much older and wiser and this at times made for a slight disconnect. I particularly liked certain scenes - Leelu's first day at school for example, a scene that will hit home with any young person whose experienced a new school. Richardet who lost his life in a motorcycle accident in September 2018 near Camp LeJeune, NC, at the age of 19.Polly's books have been great for stretching the boundaries of what she's prepared to read without overwhelming her with the grittiness of life. Feeling lost and alone in a strange new city, Leelu wishes she could fly away back home her real home where her dad is, thousands of miles away. In my opinion Leelu's struggles with being in a new country and missing her dad was the best part of this book.

I think it was because of how the author wrote the book, it made it more interesting and painted a picture in my mind. Particularly the scenes in school where she felt out of place and scared were incredibly well written.

When you look at small pieces of moss, and beautiful leaves so intricate and delicate they ARE things of wonder with hidden magical powers. Through the help of her friend Betsy, her growing relationship with her brother Tiber, and the 'wonders' that are left by Bo, she grows. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Overall, this book has some hope and bright moments, but the overwhelming uncomfortable feeling dominated me throughout.
