Thank you Netgalley and Greenwillow Books for the gifted book I read along with the library audio.
Six months ago (in the previous book, Unseen Magic), Fin had to contend with the reality of magic in her hometown of Aldermere and save it from exploitation. But now, the magic is threatened when a team of myth-busters arrives in town to track down the rumored monster living there.
Instead of the relaxing spring break Fin has anticipated, Fin and her friends, find themselves in possession of a baby bigfood separated from her pack and launched onto a journey to keep the baby safe, hidden from the film crew in town, and protect their town in the process.
This is a story about friendship and secrets, and which ones are worth keeping and which are worth fighting for.
_____
I love some magical realism and although there are layers of magic in the land of Aldermere, it is grounded in reality and I can easily imagine walking through an unmarked door into somewhere I didn't intend to be. Emily Lloyd-Jones writes with such skill that her books are so easy and enjoyable to read. You are just happy to be on this reading journey. This book delivers a story that is easily digestible and isn't over inflated with boring details.
If you are looking for an entertaining middle grade read with just the right amount of magic and a message about loyalty and kindness, look no further, this one is worth the read.
