In fact, I might recommend it on the strength of the note at the end alone. Sloe's love for the tiny animals is real and her adventures as she tries to make it back to her mother are difficult and trying. How odd this book seems, though no less odd than the other I read, but it is.believable. It might be true that people will easier believe a big lie than a small one, and that is true here. I could see everything as though it was before me, and the people fit cleanly into it. The world as Halam created it was spectacular. Each element is warped and rearranged to fit with the others but they are no less pure for that. Like the blurb says, it is a mix of science, adventure, and fairy tale. Sloe had to make the journey alone.Sloe becomes a heroine, equal to anything, in this dazzling blend of science, adventure, and fairy tale. From the blurb: When Rosita was tiny.she and her mama had to go and live in an ugly place.a prison camp.she didn't understand her mama's magic.She only knew she had to keep the secret until Mama said it was time to start on the great journey.But once Rosita grew up to be a tough, cynical girl called Sloe.Mama was gone.
