When Morgan's life sort of crashes and burns, and she cuts off all of her hair and dyes what remains orange, her parents
freak out. For some reason, they decide that what she needs is to go on a biking tour of Ireland. Of course, Morgan thinks
they're insane, but she has no choice in the matter, so it's off to the land of leprechauns and shamrocks for her!
Her trip turns out to be way more than Morgan bargained for when she hits her head and finds herself in some sort of
fantasy world hundreds of years in the past. Yeah, you read that right. She's not just in the land where so many myths
come from; she's living out those old fairy stories herself.
Both the fantasy parts of the story and the real, modern-day parts of Morgan's life are amazing! The fantasy felt a little
weird to be stuck in at first, but that just shows how completely great the more contemporary part of the book was.
WHY I LET MY HAIR GROW OUT is definitely a page-turner. I loved Maryrose Wood's first book, SEX KITTENS
AND HORN DAWGS FALL IN LOVE, and this one is even better (and very different).
I absolutely loved the characters; all of them are very interesting and three-dimensional. This is a funny, smart book that
readers are sure to love!
