There are three authors that I often say are the reason I read as much as I do now. Two of those authors are Enid Blyton and Jacqueline Wilson, and I absolutely adored the Faraway Tree series when I was younger. So needless to say, I was very interested to see Wilson's take on this story.
Though I am now far from the target demographic for this book, I had a very enjoyable time reading it. It was incredibly nostalgic for me, and I think Wilson perfectly captured the magic of the original series whilst still adding a small flair that made it undeniably Jacqueline Wilson, too. I loved it. Though I doubt I would pick up more if this was to become a series, simply because I do not typically pick up a lot of children's books, I am glad I read this one. It was a perfect little stroll down memory lane and I am still very grateful for both of these authors for their past works that gave me the love for reading that I have now.
