This is high fantasy; don't pick this up if you don't like to read about other worlds, fantastical creatures and the like.
It's been a while since I've found a book that's as quotable as this one: "Some of us are born in the right place, and some of us have to go look for it."
". . .life was a precarious thing, and the only truly solid ground was that which you built yourself."
"Books are dangerous things sometimes, Poison. . .they feed your imagination."

Poison is a young girl from an isolated village which she's never left- until it becomes necessary for someone to go looking for her sister.She encounters strange and wonderful worlds and creatures along the way, but the most exciting discoveries are within herself. Wooding, through his prose, makes profound points about friendship, and believe it or not, the meaning of human life. And the role he's created for books- well, that makes the book all the more appealing for a book lover.

I think if I'd read this one at some other time I might have given it five stars; I was just in an impatient mood this past weekend and skimmed much of the lush description. I just had an appetite for plot, I guess.

Edit: It's been a couple of weeks since I read the book, and I'm still thinking about it. That's a sure sign of a great book!
I will be recommending this one to every student willing to listen.

Edit #2: It's been months since I read this, and I am still thinking about it! I've changed my rating on it; anything that is still provoking thought months later is pretty amazing stuff. :)
