An excellent read from a writer who is getting more comfortable with her style of storytelling. She comes up with another cracking read with this.

My daughter and I are big fans of her stories and enjoyed this one too! Read my complete review at

Maybe my rating is based on the fact that I am not used to read Middle Grade books… I thought that the way it was written it was really for a very young audience…

Bought it because I liked the cover... It arrived and it's a children's book lol. Was a lovely little read and I enjoyed how much food was involved.
