The Direct Sequel to Over the Woodward Wall Holds Up as both an interesting continuation of the story for Fans of Middle Game and as an middle-grade book that will interest younger readers.
I personally an interested to see if and how the continuation of Zib and Avery's journey will have a direct tie into Middle Games sequel Different Seasons (2022).
The story continued in an natural way and had great worldbuilding. It aids to the childhood imagination and does the trope of escaping to another world better than other Children's books such as the Magic Treehouse Series.
The characters have distinct personalities and interpersonal struggles that children can and will relate to.
Overall it is a fun, whimsical story that both children and adults can enjoy. It is well crafted enough that the series has the potential to become a children's classic

although I like the characters I just found I was less into this story, too much review of the previous story and not enough world development.
