mehsi's review against another edition
5.0
A sweet book about an orphan girl who is living as a servant at a giant mansion and suddenly all sorts of things happen and she is determined to find out what is going on! There is magic, hilarity, squirrels, hidden doors, secrets, libraries of awesomeness (can I please, please, PLEASE go to that place?). I didn't like the people who bossed around Tally. Though I have to say, in a way I liked them, as they were the perfect baddies. They reminded me of how Roald Dahl would write baddies/adults. Fun! The book also has illustrations, and they fit with the book so well! Guess I have to find out more about the illustrator. Plus I need more of this series!

Short & sweet magical mystery tale, with lots of interesting facts for younger readers to learn. Also secret libraries and a super cute helpful squirrel pal- it's a winner for me 😄🐿
