I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books.'' Never deigning to transcend the genre to which it is clearly a love letter, this outstanding (and entirely teen-appropriate) tale draws its strength from a solid foundation of sense-of-wonder and what-if. Walton beautifully captures the outsider's yearning in Mori's earthy and thoughtful journal entries: ''It doesn't matter. Mori works a spell to find kindred souls and soon meets a welcoming group of science fiction readers, but she can feel her mother looking for her, and this time Mori won't be able to escape. Seeking refuge with a father she barely knows in England, Mori is shunted off to a grim boarding school. Welsh teen Morwenna was badly hurt, and her twin sister killed, when the two foiled their abusive mother's spell work. World Fantasy Award–winner Walton (Tooth and Claw) turns the magical boarding school story inside out in this compelling coming-of-age tale.
