edit data

Cara lives in a hole in the ground, where she spends her days building whole worlds with nothing but words on the page and a lively imagination.

She may be summoned with a potion brewed from magic beans, but there is no telling what will happen if you do.

(As of 2025, I will rate no more books, just catalogue them. Old ratings stay up, but I won't add any more.)
