cute and sweet story! just like the first book, we follow one members of the Magic Misfits, and this time its' Leila. I loved her character and the way she deals with the thing that happen around her. 
things were more predictible than in the first book, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
the main twist was so obvious because of the cover, but I was invested that totally ignored it and was a little bit surprized by it

also loved puzzles with morse code and the hidden alphabet. wish i had book in the hands, so I could solve them this way.
definitely going to read with my nephews and hope they would like it as much as i did.

Thoughts:
There isn’t much to say that I didn’t say in my review of the previous instalment. We follow the same characters except this time we a following Leila. She has a sad history. I really felt for her.

We get introduced to a new character. Someone from Mr Vernon’s past. There is an over arching plot that is slowly developing and it has be very intrigued.

One thing I noted in this instalment was the role of Olly and Izzy their character have a lot less development than the other misfits. And their characters don’t add anything or move the plot forward. I kind of wish they weren’t included if I’m being honest but who knows maybe the following books will prove me wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️

Representation:
Gay (mentor character), POC (side character), Disability - Wheelchair (side character)

Trigger Warning:
