Honestly, did not really like this one. I hope it doesn't get worse from here!

I don't really have much to say about these books, other than I like them. They're really intelligent for middle grade, but at points they are a bit too absurd, and at other points the narrator can be a bit too invasive, but otherwise these are great books.

It took a second for this one to get going, but once it did I was hooked. Looking forward to reading the last few in the series.

These books actually get better and better the farther you get in them. Like this book has so much substance and slight mystery it’s so fun to see how the story changes from the original structure while still keeping the whimsy from the first books!
