This started alright, but it lost me fast. The story doesn't hold water and the style is whimsical for the sake of being whimsical. It doesn't work.

Darling little book I read with my 10 y/o. Not in the same vein as we are accustomed too w/ AMS but quirky and cute.

Delightful. I think I liked it as much as Adelaide did. Strong, interesting and clever female characters.
