I loved this book! It is full of creativity and exciting adventures that will keep adults and children alike, intrigued. A must-read! My only complaint is that it isn't yet available in hardcover. I will be on the lookout for additional titles by Dalton C. Dalton.

I downloaded this book onto my iPhone and really enjoyed it. It is listed as a young adult novel, but it is well written and clever enough to hold an adult's attention as well, kind of like the Harry Potter or C.S. Lewis books. The characters are all unique and engaging, especially the witch Eve who is a morally ambiguous anti-hero. The initial problem of black things turning green is really just an excuse to send the main character (a little girl named Tillie) on a cross-country journey across a fairytale-like land. Along the way, she meets friends and enemies, gets shrunk down to a tiny size by a bag of vanishing powder, and goes for a ride in a living house. This would make a great book to read aloud to a kid.
