This book had incredibly fun imagery - the best I've read in a long time. There are worlds that shift and move under Amelia's feet, and other places...like the one where the old witch who lives behind a secret wall and hangs out with talking wild creatures. Then there's this very strange place - the real world...where Amelia lives, eats, sleeps, goes to school. It's all very enjoyable to picture in your head. It had my imagination on overdrive...and that made my brain very, very happy. It's one of those books that you enjoy getting lost in.Another great aspect of this book - Amelia is the kind of character that young people can truly empathize with...and she's also one older folks like me understand. Jason did a beautiful job of creating a multi-faceted, real kind of character.On those two levels, I think this book is close to brilliant and worth your attention if you are pondering whether to read it.It's also the first installment of the series and because I had so much fun getting lost in Amelia's weird-worlds, the second is on my TBR list.
