A very magical adventure that had lots of lovely twists and turns, and clever storytelling with little nuggets of wondrous twisting of real life and elements of pure imagination to create a fascinating world. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Loved it! Looking forward to continuing the series and think with the right focus from schools it could be time for something to replace HP, and this could be it! Enthralling characters for children and an engaging plot which was creatively written and definitely a great educational tool.
Adorable, funny, magical story- 1st book in a new series and I’m in for book #2 for sure. I loved the magical world the author’s created & the way she writes! Definitely handing this one to my 10 year old. This would be an excellent family read aloud!

A lovely adventure story with friendship, magic, and hats!
Such an adorable book!!! This YA fantasy is about Makers who create magical clothing for people that do different things - a hat for bravery or boots for dancing etc. The 5 families - Hatmakers, Bootmakers, Cloakmakers, Watchmakers and Glovemakers dislike each other but when peace between England and France are threatened, the families must make Peace clothing to try and negotiate Peace. Weird things keep happening, the families are getting robbed and only Miss Cordelia Hatmaker and her friend, Mr Bootmaker can figure out what is happening and stop it before England goes to war with France. I absolutely adored this story and really didn’t want it to end.. to my pleasant surprise, it’s been cleverly staged for a second book! The characters were awesome, including Sam Lightfinger and although I figured out one villain, the second was a bit of a shock to me. This book is great for someone who needs magic and adventure in their life!

I thought this was a cute book with magical adventures spread throughout. First middle grade and I wasn't sure what to expect. I will be picking up the sequel.
