I'm not sure who loved this book more, me or my second graders! This book does not disappoint. A must read. We can't wait for Book Two!

My first reaction as I finished this book is that I hope there are sequels! As a librarian, I am always looking for excellent reads for middle grade readers. This is a perfect story on par with Roald Dahl’s The Witches, but accessible to a wider range of students. I enjoyed the village references to a place I know well. Thank you, Ms Ulmer, for a fantasy worth sharing. Please keep them coming.

This is just the kind of book that I would have loved reading as a child and that I loved now! You don't want to finish it too quickly because then you can't read it any more but you just can't put it down. I highly recommend it to all sorts of readers.

My kids were gifted a copy of this book signed by the author. I read it in less than a day. It’s very fun and lighthearted and my kids are sure to enjoy it when they get big enough to read it.
