found this book to be such a deep, emotive and insightful story.
14 year old Leah is in search for answers. What is her place in the universe? How can we ever understand people? And what is 'home'?.
When Leah goes against her own comfort and attends a summer camp, she's thrust into life with people from around the world. She wants to test herself, push her boundaries and find answers to her questions.
Leads character is so motivated and intelligent, I loved reading her story along with her. The thought processes and the answers she got which provided her with more questions to seek answers to was such an insightful adventure. I loved hearing about the relationships she was building and found myself feeling proud of her achieving more and more goals.
The lessons from this book are beautiful, as are the illustrations for each 'window' Leah writes about.
This is definitely an author I'll look forward to reading more from.
