Just extremely sweet. I got into the TV series first, which turns out to be very faithful to the books.

Lovely. Wish I could have grown up with these, honestly.

I read this in a single sitting.

It's extremely sweet. Would recommend both books to any young readers (target age 9-11 apparently), but especially autistic ones. Also to anyone who's not really bothered about what age range books are targeted at.
