A super fun middle grade adventure about books! It was fun seeing character relationships grow, and reading about all of the book shenanigans. I also enjoyed that the uncle seems neurodivergent, based on the things he enjoys and the particular things he can’t stand (like when the phone rings it utterly disrupts his entire day and feels like the loudest sound ever). The uncle is referred to as crazy, though, periodically.
