KR Lilac

This was a fun, brilliant adventure, that kids and adults are sure to enjoy. While I struggle to completely describe this book, think Roald Dahl vibes when it comes to the descriptions, but Percy Jackson when it comes to the adventures involved. The descriptions are unique, but paint a surprisingly clear picture (giraffe stuffed in a human suit, anyone? And no, I won't tell you what that's from, you'll have to read to find out). The story itself moves along at a good clip, with twists, show more turns, unforgettable characters, and new places to explore. I love the world Lilac has built, and I cannot wait to go on more adventures with Root in the future. show less

This is a lovely fantasy book for tweens and teens. The characters are wonderfully depicted (even the villains) and I love that the female main character starts out strong and brave and stays strong and brave throughout the book. The fantasy world feels unique and the writing pulls you in, keeps you entertained, and makes you laugh out loud. It reads almost like Nanny McPhee (the humor) mixed with Harry Potter (the adventure) mixed with a fresh spin on young fantasy. I loved this book and show more encourage you to pick it up! show less
