Arabel's Raven by Joan Aiken

4.0

So cute. I loved this book. It was such a delightful mix of totally adult jokes (the Citroen at the end was illegally parked every time and had me in fits of giggles) and amusing things for children (Mortimer the Raven eats their stairs. Arabel doesn't blame him because how was he to know they needed them to get to the second floor?). It's whimsical. There's not enough whimsy in my life (hard as I try). It was a pleasure to read and I whole-heartedly recommend it for people with kids between the ages of 6 and 8. Or people who just enjoy a good three-hour audiobook filled with whimsy.
