"I have to put this one on, if only to celebrate the efforts of a few twenty-four-year-old friends just out of film school, ganging up to turn our college house into a summer camp and haul a Moviecam Super America around the dirt lots of North Carolina, making a movie none of us knew would have any impact on anyone anywhere. I remember how ecstatic we were to find out Criterion was releasing us on video. At such an early time in our careers, that Criterion liked our first film made us feel like we had a place at the table with our heroes. What a way to begin!"

I got this as a freebie back in 2012, I think, and only really got around to reading it as part of "We Heart YA groups" A-Z Challenge.

I ended up DNF'ing at 20%.

It wasn't bad or anything, just not enough happened in that first fifth of the story to grab my attention and to make me want to continue reading.

If something other than her starting a new school and learning she's a witch (though she should have figured that out by herself already), oh and meeting a cute boy and his dog, then I might have wanted to continue but like I said, the plot was moving far too slowly for me.

This is my new favourite book! What am amazing read. I don't want to say to much because I don't want to give the plot away. It is beautifully written and if I hadn't promised my sister-in-law could borrow it, I would be reading it again. Kya lives alone on the marshes and has done since before she was 10. She's has learnt more living the marshes then she could have at school. Tate, a boy who fishes on the marshes teaches Kya to read and opens up a boat load of opportunities for her. Learning about human interaction using insect observations Kya's story is touching and exciting. I almost want to be The Marsh Girl.
