Book Girl told me I'd like this book. She was right. It really is quite cute for a young adult book. It's a collaboration between two writers Carol Matas and Perry Nodelman. Both have written other books.
Lenora is a young, headstrong girl, about to marry Coren. They are both from royal families.
Lenora has a gift of being able to turn her imagination into reality. Everyone in her community has this gift, but they have all agreed not to use it, except, of course, for Lenora.
Coren's gift, and that of his entire community, is the ability to read minds -- to enter a mind to talk there, without using his voice.
The story is how they find each other. Coren follows Lenora into her adventure, rescues and is rescued. She learns the damage her gift can do and learns to temper it.
I found the first part of the book more interesting, with lively convos and asides. The latter dragged a bit for me.
Still, it is a fun book to read. There are assorted trolls, fairies, little people -- and those who are made invisible (and caused to become visible again by Lenora and Coren) by the evil dictator Hevek.
Enjoy!
