"I know I might regret asking this,"said Nine, "but how exactly does a toad's tongue move the House?"

"Ah, a most ingenious device on the coat of arms, " said the wizard, brightening a little. "You simply pull out the toad's tongue, release and then off the House pops."

I really enjoyed this story. It’s magical and funny and a quick read.

This was really sweet and imaginative and exactly what I wanted out of it. The characters are lovable, and the author's imagination really shines. I am definitely going to continue this cute and fun series!

Very fun story of a young thief, orphaned and hopeless who finds friends and a future in a magical house and quest.

This is a fun, ridiculous, silly middle grade. It's such a quick read and I enjoyed my time reading it. I liked the dynamics of the group of characters, and have a soft spot especially for Eric the troll. I think this read a little younger than the MG I tend to read, but it was still a lot of fun.
