Jaclyn Moriarty is one of my favourite #LoveOzYA authors and I particularly adore her Ashbury/Brookfield series, so when I heard she had a middle grade book out I just knew I had to buy it and read it straight away. And read it I did! I loved this book so much, I found it to be whimsical, fun and enthralling. The illustrations are fabulous and I couldn't put this down, especially towards the end.
Bronte is an adorable character, and each member of her family were so interesting in their own way, Everything about this book is phenomenal, from the cover to the illustrations, to the writing itself. The world building is sublime, at no point was the story predictable and the last 100+ pages had me on the edge of my seat - I couldn't put it down! This book is great for children who may not be quite ready for Harry Potter but want to dip their toe into fantasy, and it would make a great Christmas present - 5 stars!
