I love Juliet Marillier’s combination of gorgeous writing and exciting storytelling in The Amber Owl. The protagonist, Stasya, a young woman with a special connection to animals, goes to great lengths to save the Heartwood Forest, and her adventures are both heartbreaking and inspiring.

I couldn’t put it down!
