[Gwen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ecco un Gaia Junior che merita di stare accanto ai miei volumi preferiti di questa collana degli anni '90! La protagonista, Jayce, risulta forte e volitiva, proprio come la sua bisnonna, Myra, di cui ritrova il diario nella fattoria di famiglia in cui vive. Femminismo, indipendenza, ma anche amore per la natura e coscienza di sé, in una storia che parla di crescita e di trovare il proprio posto nel mondo, ricordando che l'amore - quello vero, che non conosce pregiudizi e stereotipi - non ci imprigiona, ma piuttosto infonde energia per realizzare progetti e sogni.
