This is the most darling little middle grade slice-of-life cozy fantasy! The quirky extended family that all lives and works together was so incredibly charming, and I loved each little tidbit of information that we got about the world outside of the family.

Enjoyable and fun. I wished we had seen more of the world. It seems like a fascinating place and I would love to see an adult book set in the same universe.
