The characters she crafts really do ring true, speaking in a personal, almost intimate way, setting her apart from other writers in her field. Leaping off the page, they lend themselves to the narrative, giving them a very real and tangible quality, and one that’s easy to relate to. Knowing and understanding her audience, Dimaline writes with a high level of confidence, something which she’s developed for a long time now. The stories themselves are also intriguing, as they keep the reader constantly hooked, not just feeling for the protagonist, but constantly turning the page to see what’s coming next. There’s a lyrical quality to her work that allows her words to flow across the page, really grabbing the audience and pulling them in.
