Perfect Example Of A 'Maddie Dawson Book'. This book really is a perfect exemplar of Maddie Dawson's tales and style of storytelling. You've got a perfectly imperfect character, this time pushing Senior Discount age. You've got the dose of magic. You've got the hilarious and zany "wtf" moments. You've got the various family and friend and business dynamics that are all wholesome yet with their own dramas. In a real world so full of so much death and strife and destruction and turmoil, Dawson's books are always a great escape and a solid respite from all of that, and this one is no exception to this rule. That it is timed to release at the New Year is perfect with its particular themes and actions. Overall truly an excellent departure from so much of both reality and even many books, and very much recommended.
