Why read it?

1 author picked The Book of Hidden Wonders as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This story mesmerized me. It’s deceptively deep with a hint of whimsical, and the story plays out in your mind like a movie. It’s so beautifully written that I felt myself pulled in so many emotional directions and needed to let the book sit with me after I finished the final page. 

From Steena's list on that keep you up past your bedtime.
