This is the third book of this series and it been about a year since our two main characters have been together and they have grown into almost teens and with that comes all the differences in how teens act in their relationships. This story really stepped up the adventure and the excitement. I really liked that we got not only a glimpse into Jorie and Rufus relationship but all the characters got a budding in their development with those they interact. The scenes with the poor housekeeper who thought she was going crazy when the cat kept swimming in the tam. It almost like everyone is going to discover the magical land that Jorie and Rufus have been to and that they all will get to enjoy the wonderful adventure. It be fun to see where things go in the next installment.
