This book made me feel so many things. Some people should not be parents. Don't treat your kids like things that need to be perfect. Ask kids what they want/need and LISTEN TO THEM. Oh and the portrayal of people adopting children form other countries, bringing them back and trying to remove all their history and culture and everything - just despicable and heartbreaking!
Oh Nadya you sweet girl, I wanted to hug her the entire time and it filled me with so much joy when she found her door. I also love the water and so I related so much to her love of that and the turtles! Her world was truly amazing. Thank goodness this book comes later in the series so I know what else happens to her (from previous books) because I am so invested in her future!

Note: As always, I read this via audiobook and the narration was fabulous.

Thanks to the publisher for a free audiobook copy; my thoughts and review are my own.
