Thoroughly enjoyable

5 stars

I read this to my kids and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Me too and that's always a blessing as the chief story reader. Just enough cliffhanger chapter ends that they're looking forward to tomorrow.

I did have to stop to explain quite a few of the words to the younger of the 2 at the time but she still thoroughly enjoyed it.
