This is the perfect 3rd grade book! So many books are long and this book packs a punch with just 133 pages, light with copy and peppered with illustrations. I love the dedication to this book, to an illustrator of raccoons, which feeling he wanted to capture.
It is such a charming story of Gumluck, the Little Wizard who Lives in the Big Hill, who meets a raven. The raven discovers that people in town call him the Shrinking Wizard and mock him, even though he tries to help everyone. The story is told through the pov of a raven who sees his kindness. There is a greedy king and lots of townspeople, a friendly ghost, and a little magic.
