Fantasy has always been more than escapism. Stories filled with magic, quests, and mythical worlds often illuminate the hopes, fears, and longings we carry within us. It reflects who we are while inviting us to imagine who we could become. #fantasy #fantasybooks #kidlit #booksky

Just finished CHARMLESS by Kate Hansen. I’m still grinning about it. "When the village’s unluckiest girl stumbles into a magical disaster, Mariah Miller is swept into the Empty Lands with a mismatched band of companions."
