I loved this book! The characters are just the cutest (who wouldn’t love a ‘wicked’ witch and her tiny talking bat friend?

My favorite by Vernon to date. Upbeat, thinking, clever and believable characters, nifty ideas, and fun artwork throughout. A most lovely read indeed and highly recommended.

Maybe the teensiest bit predictable (but I'm cutting it some slack as it's MG), but a genuinely delightful read nonetheless. Was recommending it to my youngest and their friends before I was even finished.

It’s a little slow at the start, but once you get into it you just can’t put it down!!!
