Juniper Leaves: The Otherworldly Tale of a Lonesome Magical Girl by Jaz Joyner

4.0

This was a cute, coming-of-age story of Blerd Juniper Bray. Juniper's very self-conscious, and sometimes she gets in her own way. The story's a bit light on the fantasy elements. They're introduced later in the story, and Juniper and Bree have to shuttle back and forth between Earth and Cantantis, so we don't get to understand the full breadth of the other world. Juniper has a crush on another girl, and it was sweet to watch her navigate that. She learns about being confident and staying true to herself and working through differences.
