This is her first novel.

I loved The Mirrorwood, by Deva Fegan -- it felt like a classic fairy tale, and yet so original! | Clare Vanderpool's classic story about a girl trying to find her place and understand her father is a beautiful classic | Under the Egg is a fun art history mystery -- what's not to like?! |
---|---|---|
I wish the mystery-cracking Enola Holmes had been around when I was middle grade age, and I especially love with wonderful bits of Victorian women's history woven into these books | Wrinkle in Time is one of my all time favorites! | Wolf Hollow is a beautiful coming of age story about learning not to judge other's by their appearances |
