I was a part of the beta reads for this book. The final version is better than I could imagine.  I was so excited to get my hands on it. One of my favorite reads this year.

A fun creepy story that had charm to it. I loved the characters. T Kingfisher is becoming one of my favourite authors. The performance of the narrator was also excellent

I can see this book being super helpful for people who want to heal their inner child. I read it to help do my jobs better as a youth worker but even I found myself relating and learning from parts. Well worth read.
