What I liked: I honestly LOVED this novel! Being told from the perspective of a 7-almost-8-year-old girl who loved words and stories and research? It was a lot of fun and super charming. Took a little bit of effort to get used to Elsa's train of thought, but it was well worth it in the end.

What I didn't like: I haven't really thought of anything I didn't like about it, if we're being honest 🤷🏽‍♀️
