The story

This is a wonderfully entertaining story. The narrator does an excellent job bringing out the humor and magic of the characters and story without being too childish. The plot is somewhat predictable, but filled with so many imaginative, warm, odd, and funny moments it does not seem to matter. If you enjoy Roald Dahl, you may want to try it. This is a light and simple tale worth the listen!

Light, funny, magical listen.

Entertaining enough to keep both children engaged during long car trip. Lovely accent of narrator. Humorous for adults too.

Kids 7 & 9 enjoyed it

A lovely story with spirit and humor. Perhaps this was an inspiration for J K Rowling.

Charming!!

I loved the way this author mixed the worlds of magic and our world. This author did such a great job of creating tension and keeping me hooked in the story, using dramatic irony...which had me feeling SO frustrated, but the characters and moments of humor kept me going. I'm not sure I have ever read a story that dragged out the dramatic irony for so long, but I was sure it would turn out well in the end, and it did! The narrator also does a wonderful job bringing all the various characters to life!

A heartwarming story blending the magical world with ours
