“This book hooked my attention from the first chapter, so I know it will grab kids’ attention, too! Full of magic, well-written dynamic characters, and age-appropriate drama, this book would motivate even a reluctant reader to finish this amazing story. The plot was well-written, with great vocabulary and figurative language, and I love the story of courage and bravery through learning something new. This book would make a great gift, an excellent addition to an elementary and middle library, and an amazing read-aloud that would have readers on the edge of their seats. Can’t wait for the next in the series!”

“I genuinely loved this book. It’s written for young teens, but adults will love reading it as much as I did. The story is imaginative and exciting, full of great characters and surprises. The protagonist is Fenn, a young girl, whose only problem seems to be passing math class. When her parents disappear, the adventure begins, but Fenn and her little sister aren’t prepared for the family’s secret legacy. I won’t give anything away, but you will love this fantastical journey no matter how old you are. I want to see the movie (hint-hint)!”

“A mash of Halloweentown and Princess Bride universe, with steroidal magic and fast setting storyline! What a gift of literature for young readers and, well, everyone else! My heart and soul were blessed to have read this by the beach as the sun rose, the superb word crafting of this book removed me from this tired world to a universe filled with wonders and mysteries.”

“I met the author at an event and bought the book for my granddaughter. It will be a while before I get to see her so I started reading the book. It is well above what I expected. Nicely written. So much detail. I do hope they make a movie and hopefully do the books to come as well.”
