Book Rec, Review: Drowned Maiden's Hair

So, I remedy Twilight with awesomesauce to share! It is called The Drowned Maiden's Hair. It is children's lit (possibly not old enough to be considered YA?), of a genre that should exist, consisting of "Books With Orphans In Which Neat Shit Happens, Yo!" A Little Princess and Anne of Green Gables belong in this genre. You see it is awesome, for I will it to be so. Also I rhyme.

See, I wanted to call it fantasy, but while it is certainly fantastic it is only mildly supernatural (neither Sam nor Dean nor sex demons make any appearances. Honestly, the only thing I know about that show entirely consists of sex demons. The things you learn from fic!) The thing is it felt magical. And A Little... and AoGG feel magical too. HP is a Book With Orphans In Which Neat Shit Happens, Yo, and it is about magic, but that's beside the point. Maybe it's the setting; The Drowned Maiden's Hair is set at the turn of the 19th c. into the 20th.
