A review by roseleaf24
The Fledgling by Jane Langton

3.0

Three stars because this is well-written and the right book for someone, but it was NOT the right book for me. Animal books are iffy. Animal book + Transcendentalists (!!) + Magical realism. *Sigh* This could have read more fairy tale than magical realism, but the randomness of the magical elements made it feel like magical realism to me. Plus there were horrible adults who were caricatures and put children in not-magical, serious danger.
