Maddy Kettle: The Adventure of the Thimblewitch by Eric Orchard

2.0

Disappointing! The illustrations were so darling and I always love a magical, girl-led adventure, but the pacing of this story was too strange. It seemed like Orchard was trying to cram too long of an adventure into this short book, and it just ended up feeling rushed and half-baked. There was no time for character development, or much world-building, which is too bad because the details he did include were so imaginative! Overall, although this book had real imaginative potential, it failed to deliver an engaging story or characters.
