Amazing storytelling... Corinne is a skeptical little girl who does not believe in the magical beings that inhabit the island along with her and her village people. But when they become larger than life itself, it becomes difficult for Corrine to deny the fact of their existence. Masterfully written, this Haitian fairytale comes to life in vivid color as the author takes you on a well detailed journey of love and discovery. Very well put together and thought out this book is both easy to follow and a very enjoyable page-turner. When you think of a strong female character you usually think of a female in a woman's body, not in a child's. However this book somehow pulls off both. The strong female lead is absolutely inspiring. And somehow the fact that she is a child makes her story even more believable. When faced with insurmountable odds a child will always stand their ground for the ones they love. I absolutely enjoyed this book. I found it more than entertaining. It was delightfully unique and coming from an adult's perspective I enjoyed it as though it were an adult's novel even though it is written for those much younger (ages 8 - 14 approximately). I feel like many other adults would agree with me in appreciating the wonderful work done on this book. Despite its fantastical premise the message is classic... love conquers all! ❤️ Beautiful book! This is a book that I would recommend to children of all ages!
