This book took a bit of getting used to. It has a lovely cadence but that cadence sometimes does not flow as well as it should.  It staggers and mumbles in parts. Overall the star story is quite lovely of a girl who goes off to find the monsters in the woods. She finds them, they make friends, and she learns their secret. While this book was lovely and enjoyable it falls short. It almost feels like there should be another page or two of her going home and there isn’t. Overall this was a fun read but the execution could have been better.
