I have been a fan of Saffron for over five years now since
she first appeared in 2009 in a much slimmer volume. Saffron, I guess she is about nine or ten years old, is a
small girl who knows exactly where she is going, has an opinion about
everything and yet, underneath, is as vulnerable and loving as anyone. Saffron
travels the world with her family, takes over when her baby sister is born and
suffers the daily questioning of her other small sister, Sage (soon to appear
in her own book I read). It is a decidedly quirky, unusual family to which she belongs.
