Why do you have to change? Change the way we see. Don't change the way you are.
I really don't read middle grades, but I am a Mafi fan and seriously, this cover is stunning. So, I waited on the line at BEA, and I was not disappointed by this book. Mafi created this fascinating world of wonder and whimsy. Alice's journey was a joy to be a part of, and my heart felt so much for this special girl. Tahereh Mafi explores so many topics (prejudice, abandonment, loneliness, friendship, trust, the list goes on and on), but they are dealt with in that fairy tale type way. Bottom line, I smiled from beginning to end.
