What was it about Kimmel's book that you found to be life chaging? I've not read her so I need an explanation here! :)

Loved A Wrinkle in Time, but I liked A Swiftly Tilting Planet better because it had a unicorn in it that I imagined I flew around on instead of what's-his-name.

Short story: It's a great book!

Long story: sent via email.

Was this just recently you were imagining flying around on unicorns? :)
