Wow.  A fantastic ending to this charming, whimsical trilogy!  I'm not going to give away too much on plot but previous events have lead to Alta Donna being in serious risk of survival and Nola finds out that her daydreaming has lead her to become a good storyteller thus the one who may be able to save not Alta Donna but the world where her friends Damiano and Ines have come from as well.  I'm still not letting on what the ferrets are all about but they are major characters in this final volume and everything is all finally brought together.  One can simply believe the ending as it is or one can ponder on the events and wonder, if anything, is really real. 

The characters are wonderful and one falls in love with them right away.  During the course of the three books they grow, develop and mature.  There are believable, real, faulty characters.  Nola is a terrific heroine but I think my favourite overall character was Damiano.  The strange boy from another world who has super agility abilities, so obviously has a crush on Nola (which is is mutual) that it is cute! A darling trilogy that will be a keeper on my shelves!
