Fairies.
Foster kids.
One box full of magical shoes.
Eleven-year-old Elle has two things keeping her going in her Colorado foster home: her vivid imagination and an unshakable belief that her missing family will return. She just didn't expect her imagination to crash through her bedroom window in the form of a blue-haired fairy named Florena.
Suddenly, Elle’s stories are real, and she is handed an impossible task: give away a box of magical footwear, one life-changing pair at a time, to the people around her—including her worst enemy. It's a test to prove to a bitter fairy queen that humans are capable of generosity. If Elle succeeds, she wins a mysterious prize. But when the queen breaks her promise, Elle must journey directly into the heart of the secret fairy kingdom. To save everyone she loves, Elle will have to face a centuries-old grief head-on before both worlds tear apart

MY THOUGHTS
Elle was an endearing character. I liked seeing her resiliency and imagination. And I loved seeing the growth she experienced. She faced a sometimes daunting task with the shoes, but I thought she handled it all very well.
I loved that even though this story has fantasy elements, the characters also believed in God. Despite some of the serious subjects that were discussed, it was all handled with care. I appreciated all the life lessons that were woven into the story too. I can’t say enough good things about it and am really looking forward to the next book!
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
