Little Orchid's Sea Monster Trouble by Gueh Yanting, Claudine is brilliantly creative. The writing is lyrical, and the imagery sticks to your bones. Following along with Little Orchid on her quest into the deep was riveting. The fabric of the story has the same fantastical texture as that of Alice and Wonderland. Just as Alice finds herself trapped in another world, so does Little Orchid- in mind and body! She learns about herself by seeing through different eyes and makes some very special friends along the way. I enjoyed this book immensely, and I would recommend it to readers between the ages of nine and thirteen or anyone who loves to drift away with their imagination.
