From back cover: "Together always to the last/Our love shall hold each other fast/Delivered from the frost and foam/None shall fly 'til all come home."

I thought this was just all right. It got a little "Home Alone"-y in the end, though I suppose that movie is old enough that YA readers would likely not be familiar with it. The attempt at a Victorian-ish setting didn't sit right with me either. I'm also not totally sure what age range this is for as the vocabulary seems pretty advanced. Also, I found a few of the cursive writing fonts difficult to read, and I'm used to reading doctor scrawl; I can see other people getting frustrated with the difficulty in reading it.
