5.0

Believe the hype!  I didn't read this for a long time, partly because i feared it wouldn't be as good as my friends said.  Instead, it really was as warm, amusing and cosy as everyone has said.  As a school librarian, i would have no qualms letting a 13 yo read this if they wanted.  Lots of intrigue, but no gore, sex or bad language. (Although quite a bit of talk about drug trafficking) Some really loveable major and minor characters.   I will immediately begin book 2.
