This was so good. I liked this version of the story even better than the original by Cornelia Funke. I loved the fairies, the books, the characters, and the power to eldest characters out of stories, which is what Mo and Maggie could do.

Working to read through my back log of children's books so I can donate. Three stars is my default rating for children and YA books and indicates they are good for their audience.

A movie novelization that wasn't so exactly like the movie that it bored me! It actually combined pieces of both the movie and the book, along with a few things that weren't in either that I really liked!
