YAColors of Madeleine series.
In this second book in the trilogy (A Corner of White), Madeleine (in Cambridge, England) and Elliot (in the Kingdom of Cello) continue to communicate through letters they send through a "crack" between their two worlds. The characters' desperate yearning for absent loved ones adds emotional depth to the story, which is full of clever invention and intrigue, excellent surprises, and sophisticated wit.
