Willow Moss and the Lost Day by Dominique Valente

5.0

Willow Moss feels that she has the worst magical ability in her entire family: whereas her mother can commune with the dead, her older sisters Juniper and Camille can use their minds to blow things up and move things, Willow finds things that are lost. But though it's not as flashy, moving things with your mind or blowing things up are of no use when it turns out last Tuesday has gone missing, leave a hole in reality that, if not fixed, could cause the world of Starfell to unravel like a sock. And who finds lost things? Willow Moss, with the help of some new friends and an angry Kobold in a carpet-bag (Do NOT call him a cat). A world, brilliantly realised, full of characters you'll fall in love with, (as well as a devious but surprisingly sympathetically motivated villain (talk about your demons coming home to roost) wrapped up in a beautiful package - kudos to not only Sarah Warburton for her wonderful illustrations but to HarperCollins Children's Books' design team! - If you love books about magic, I cannot recommend this one highly enough! Here's to hoping that there are further instalments! (I'd especially like know what a certain someone was thinking when they left another certain someone with another certain someone, especially considering that first certain someone's abilities ;) )
