Review of 'A corner of white' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I've been reading a lot of kids books since I started reading to my daughter (9 now). This was one of the best I've read. The writing style is simple and direct and whimsical. It was hard to put down. It made me realize how boring my sci-fi books are. :-)
