This series is a childhood favorite. I haven't read it in years but it holds a special place in my heart!

A childhood favorite of mine and I don’t see why this isn’t a tv series yet tbh

A great fairy-tale adventure, the first in a series. Buckley does a great job of creating his young sleuths and the stories surrounding the legendary fairy-tale creatures (Everafters).

This was a cute book. I enjoyed it but it wasn't great. I thought it had some clever ideas and I wonder if the other books will get better now that the "plot" is set.

Great middle grade read aloud. Love the fairytale connections. Fits perfectly into curriculum expectations.

I read this for a class. It was fine- would be much better of a reading experience if I was the intended audience.
