Man, oh man. That's one heck of a story! Like all things I truly enjoy, it had to come to an end. Noooooo! Madison Boone and friends are in my heart now. I implore the author to come up with a series based on this wonderful character!Molly Greene has more than proven she has the chops to create a fictional world in which we are completely invested. When I first saw the cover, I thought...boy, that is RICH, which doesn't begin to describe the contents. Such wonderful, beautiful detail and layering in a journey that pulls you along with pure ease. If I had to put it down for awhile, I was constantly trying to suss out the plot and wonder what intrigue would next unfold.MARK OF THE LOON is beyond excellent; it's memory-making. Not an ounce of purple prose, but a constant stream of verbal tennis between Madison and her friends which makes the reader wish all relationships were like that. It was a pure delight! The author's descriptions of places and furnishings were a sensory wonder.So many life lessons to be had here; I always look for the author's moral code underpinning a story. Molly Greene is one righteous chick, to borrow a term from my flower-child days. Of course, I knew that before. If she's the Pied Piper, I'll happily follow to the ends of the earth.
