Wow, The Dual Path is quite the adventure! As an adult reader of this young adult novel, I was deeply moved by Zelia's discovery and transformation. Hers is a riveting journey from everyday mundane life through every twist and turn of opportunity which opens not only her mind and her heart, but also opens her soul to the beautiful magic and its community all around her! Zelia's bravery is a shining light!

As an adult fan of YA novels, I enjoyed this book; I feel certain the kids who like YA and children's fantasy adventures will, too. Other reviews above make the story very clear -- I wanted to add that Dual Path's thoughtful and sometimes surprising adventures are very engaging, even though Nau isn't exploring the dystopian themes that are so popular in YA. 

This book is a wonderful magical journey that I have loved reading to my kids. We have had so much fun discussing the infinte imagery as we got swept into this magical realm. And the discussions about Zemma and Aunt Joy's characterization have very profound as there is so much depth to the story.

Zemma's adventures seem to teach her (and the reader) that the more she's able to open
herself up to Life without judgements, the more magic will come her way. How delightful!
