I had no idea about the importance of Jo Van Gogh and how instrumental she was for the world knowing and loving the art of Vincent Van Gogh. She had to work so hard to be independent and respected as a woman in a time when women were expected to defer to men and be taken care of by men.

I didn't want to put it down, and when I finished reading it I wanted to begin again immediately, although I did generously pass it along to another family member first.
The astromancers in Peter's star-touched village have an amazing device that nudges time—surely it wouldn't hurt if Peter used it to fix a few mistakes? Cozy fantasy alight with wonder from the author of Wicked Marigold.
When Peter leads two Tinkerers to his family's inn in Stargazers Valley, he imagines they're like other astromancers, researchers from the Imperial College who study starstuff. The valley is a special place, where the magical aurora called the Skeins appear in the sky and starstuff falls in their wake, as thin and wispy as fluff from a seed pod. But starstuff is powerful, and…
