    These three books are absolutely fantastic! All three feature intelligent, strong, and not overly sentimental female leads. The first book has a lot of thoughtful illustrations from the author. The second book is a time-travel story; although the title is a bit cheesy, the author writes very well, with delicate emotional nuances. I've already read it several times.
