Description
Wise beyond her years Whippoorwill Willingly finds herself suddenly swept up in a mysterious adventure in this charming exploration of classic storytelling. Popular spoken word artist and author Margaret Dulaney conjures a guided dream for those between the ages of nine and ninety-nine.
Bid by a mysterious stranger to board an even more mysterious train, young Whippoorwill Willingly disembarks at an enchanted lake in the far reaches of the Swiss Alps. Each day's discoveries will alter the course of her life, offering forever friendships of all varieties: two-legged, four-legged and winged.
The book speaks to a hunger for the mystical world behind all of nature, with hints of nature spirits, angels and water sprites. It embraces the mystical view shared by many faiths and indigenous wisdom traditions, with great emphasis on the healing powers of the natural world.

This story is listed in the categories of Children’s Fiction, Literary Fiction, as well as Middle Grade, which seems to me to be accurate since it is a story that children will enjoy, but adults will, as well since Whippoorwill Willingly seems to be wise beyond her years.
This is a story of a journey that is filled with charm, but also moments that share how Whippoorwill Willingly navigates the world. As this begins, she meets a stranger who entices her to board a curious train which takes her to an enchanted lake with the Swiss Alps in the distance. It’s there that she begins to view the world in a way that she had never seen before.
It’s rare that I find a book that can be enjoyed by all, with a bit of mystery, something between a mixture of fantasy and reality, while seeming to remain in reality, and still having a sprinkling of magical realism.

Like a fairytale that dives deeper, a candy coated whisper that has something important to echo to you, or a beautiful tale both lyrical and heartfelt. All of this describes this lovely book.
There’s an air of mystery, a wholesome heart, and appeal to almost every reader, Something that dances along that line of what is real and what is imagined. All while firmly keeping its feet in reality it glimmers with touches of magic that’s not too outlandish or ungrounded.
