Audacity Jones Steals the Show by Kirby Larson

3.0

An Agatha nominee for Best Children's/YA Novel, this was a fun, fast read that blends magic, mystery, and history. This is the second book in the Audacity Jones series. While it was easy enough to dive in, I felt like it would've been better to have read the first book in the series before reading this one. The story stands on its own, but I think it might have helped to know a bit more about the characters' backgrounds to fully appreciate this one. The plucky heroine is sure to appeal to adventurous girls with an interest in animals, magic, and history.

I slated this for the cover-related prompts in both the 2018 BookRiot Read Harder Challenge and the 2018 PopSugar Ultimate Reading Challenge because I did not love it. The individual elements were fine and I loved the purple background, but it didn't work for me overall for some reason.
