Why read it?

1 author picked Almost, Maine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was utterly charmed by this short, sweet novel that weaves magic into everyday events. It's set in Maine, where the Northern Lights are dancing in the sky, making unusual things happen in the small town of Almost. 

Everything that happens is so literal, it comes all the way back around to the otherworldly. Hearts physically break. People actually trip and fall into love. A character that's losing hope gets physically smaller.
