As middle grade books go this one was very good. I think I lack the imagination to visualize all the weird and magical elements of the story. I appreciated the magical undead very much.
4,5 stars! This is such a fun and interesting fantasynovel! Its funny, has heartwarming characters and lots of twists and turns! So creative and imaginative! It gave me Dahl vibes as well as fairytale vibes! Looking forward to more of this series!

This was a lovely children's book which I'd highly recommend to any child ages 7+ who enjoys fantasy, silliness, and uncommon worlds. It is much better written than Eragon, just as heart-warming as Harry Potter, and all around a great deal of fun.
There are some serious themes, but not more so than many other children's books, e.g.
Other pros:
- solid, strong, positive, relatable female characters
- great representation of a grandmother as an active member of the family, rather than in a negative light such as being boring, lonely, or weak
