Better than the first two. I wonder how I'd rate it if all 5 volumes were just one book, which is what it should be.

missmadamemoon's review against another edition

This was very exciting! I enjoyed going to the hospital and meeting the not-at-all-crazy Aunt Lucinda. I do hope that, in the end, the children and Aunt Lucinda can reveal the fairy world and let everyone (primarily their family) know the truth. I enjoyed meeting the elves in the forest, and, while I was not surprised at the reveal that Arthur is still alive, I think it's very exciting. I am loving this series and appreciate that not only does it have a great story that adults can appreicate, but that it is told so specifically for children. There are some children's books (i.e. the latter in the "HP" series) that I think require a lot of consideration about what age-group they are appropriate for. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with books with heavier/serious/darker/more mature content, but I think it's good and fun for kids to also have well-written books they can just jump right into at any age.
