Fun read aloud for kids! Just silly enough and mysterious enough to keep them wanting more. Plus Ducks!!

I'm getting too old for middle-grade novels, and it's the saddest thing ever.
This book is cute and adorable. The relationship between Remi and Leo is mostly lovely and the whole book is super cute.

Disappointing on many levels. Some of the rooms were OK. It was just a little too young for me. I hated Sparks, so YAY for that ending with her, other than that, too many ducks and just missing something....

Just sit down and enjoy the wackiness of this book. Don't read the reviews complaining about unimportant and irrelevant details. This book is not meant to be some deep book with lots of intrigue and originality and character development(though it still has it), it's just meant to be fun.

Imagine what would happen if Willie Wonka invented a hotel? That's what the Whippet Hotel reminds me of - a duck pond on the roof, secret rooms, crazy elevators, robots named Blop - it seems like something Wonka would make. Leo and his dad live in the hotel, working as the maintenance staff to keep things running smoothly. But when the owner disappears and hasn't been seen for over 100 days, things begin to unravel. Read along to find out if Leo and his dad can keep the hotel put together and discover where the owner has gone.

This was a cute book. It reminded me a LOT of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Quite fun! as a book published in 2011, it stood the test of time. Was it predictable? I mean, for any adult reading this, the trajectory would be pretty obvious from the beginning, yet I think kids would really enjoy this adventurous, slightly spooky, magical, action-packed mystery set in a hotel. My only real criticism is that the friendship between Leo and Remi could have been more developed, bc Remi often felt dispensable to Leo. And Leo’s character in general wasn’t very likeable (me being very critical of a 10 yo kid lol).
I’m gonna skip the rating for this one bc I feel weird rating a juvenile fiction and my rating probably wouldn’t be very reflective of the experience children might get from this book.
