Gwendolyn is a young girl waiting to celebrate her twelfth birthday and for someone to ask her to the school dance. Her normal life gets uprooted by strange events revolving around a mysterious wooden box her grandfather left for her the day she was born. She finds herself in a world of magic and mystery and has to discover the answer to her past and the destiny of her future. Aided by new friends along the way, she wonders if she can ever find her way home again, or will she find everything she ever held dear to be nothing more than a lie?
The publisher did this author a huge disservice by allowing this book to be printed with so many errors. The first chapter alone has so many spelling, grammar and continuity errors that likely prevent the book from drawing readers in. It took multiple attempts at reading this before I could push though to end. The story is cute, but the book still needs major edits.
I fell in love with Gwendolyn's story. It flowed seamlessly and didn't feel forced. I was able to connect with her and her experiences. This book got me out of a reading slump, and for that, I am so grateful!
