My mom had brought home this book, it sat unread as many books do, on a shelf in a closet until I read Delirium and saw that they shared an author. So I snatched it up and decided that my boyfriends little sister would enjoy it, so I read it up to pass on to her. If you have read The Series of Unfortunate Events, you can see how the world that Liesl and Po live in is very similar because it takes our world and makes it their own.
Goodreads Synopses:
Liesl lives in a tiny attic bedroom, locked away by her cruel stepmother. Her only friends are the shadows and the mice—until one night a ghost appears from the darkness. It is Po, who comes from the Other Side. Both Liesl and Po are lonely, but together they are less alone.
That same night, an alchemist's apprentice, Will, bungles an important delivery. He accidentally switches a box containing the most powerful magic in the world with one containing something decidedly less remarkable.
Will's mistake has tremendous consequences for Liesl and Po, and it draws the three of them together on an extraordinary journey.
From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver comes a luminous and magnificent novel that glows with rare magic, ghostly wonders, and a true friendship that lights even the darkest of places.
