) readers. Amy has a lively imagination and the ability to cleverly draw her readers into the crazy but hilarious magical house. A delightful read for both children and adults alike. She was likeable from the start and I wanted her to succeed.

I’ll be re-reading it with my kids and can’t wait to read the next in the series once it is released!
