15-year-old Reason Cansino was named so for a reason- her mother, Sarafina, wished to use her name as a reminder for logic to make up for her illogical and unexplainable childhood from which she ran away from when she was twelve. Sarafina leads her with her in a runaway life in the Australian bush of changed names to escape from her mother, Esmeralda, a "wicked witch" to whom she has told Reason many terrifying stories about. But when Sarafina becomes insane, the guardianship is handed over to Esmeralda, the very woman Reason has been taught to fear. Magic or madness is not a question so much as a choice that Reason and the friends she makes along the way, both in Sydney and NYC. There's a "reason" this was an Aurealis Award Finalist for Best Young Adult Novel- it truly was incredible and I couldn't put it down. All the characters were developed, even the secondary ones, and the plot didn't allow you to put down the book for a second.
