*3 Stars*

Copy kindly received from Harper Collins Australia for an honest review.

I grabbed this because I remembered the name Emily Rodda from when I was in school, and I thought this might be interesting to read. I can see how for a child it would be great, but I think as an adult it didn't hit the spot. It was quick and easy, and definitely has that fantasy/magicky feel to it, so I'm sure that plenty of kids love reading this. Things just hit differently as an adult sometimes I think. Would recommend for primary school aged children.
