This middle grade fantasy/mystery novel is full of magic and full of heart!
This was so fun to read. It's light and mysterious, but it was also very heartfelt especially since family was a big theme in the book. It was also filled with adventure (although I really wanted to see more thrill.) and plot twists! (I have to hand it to the authors, there were a couple of twists I didn't see!) Best of all was the magic/history of magic! When I was younger, I had a phase when I was so into magic and magicians! So seeing all the history of magic, especially of Black magicians incorporated into the story was really wonderful.
Overall, this was a great read and I'm sure both kids and adults will love this book! Full review on my blog soon!
Thank you so much MBC Books for sending me an ARC! This, of course, did not affect my overall opinion of the book.
