I enjoyed this so much. Mystery, magic, wonder, excitement and fantastic, loveable characters. The perfect makings of a book to keep young readers enthralled, and it did just that.

As a parent with young children (all grown up now!), I was always on the look out for interesting books for them, so I could promote a love of reading. This one hits the spot with its quirky characters. Certainly a great read which has magic and mystery, to keep you hooked to the end.
Ingrid, VIC, 5 stars
This is a fantastic book for readers who love magic and adventure and who feel like they don’t fit in. It deals with friendship, isolation, disability, and the choices we make to bring people together or keep them apart. I’m already looking forward to the sequel!
