Synopsis:
Born as blank as canvas in a world brimming with colour and magic, Alice's pale skin and milk-white hair mark her as an outcast. Because, for the people of Ferenwood, colour and magic are one and the same. And since the disappearance of her beloved father, Alice is more determined than ever to prove herself and her own magical abilities.
To do so she'll have to travel into the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore, with the help of a fiercely annoying boy named Oliver. But nothing in Furthermore is as it seems, and it will take all of Alice's wits to find her father and return him safely home.
Review:
I didn't get into this book as quickly as I had expected and the writing style took a while for me to appreciate but once I did I liked the story and characters a lot. Alice had a lot of growth during the course of the book and this was done well. The world of Furthermore was totally crazy and while the ending, for me, was a little too easy I did like the resolution.

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars and I plan to pick up the sequel, Whichwood, once it is released in paperback in the UK.
