 Yes, I picked this up because of my name and because I love turtles. That is all.

A glorious sequel to Julia's House for Lost Creatures.
A story of change, making plans, then letting the wind take you in unexpected directions.

In a sequel to Ben Hatke's 2014 story Julia's House for Lost Creatures, Julia, her house full of friends, and the House itself all realize that it's time to move on. The only thing is, things don't always go to plan, and when things get underway before Julia's plans are ready, she's got to do some quick thinking. Because Julia always has a plan. The story of what to do when life gets in the way of your plans, Julia's House Moves On is about endurance, resilience, and maybe - just maybe - the fact that sometimes, it's okay to throw your plans to the wind.

I have been a Ben Hatke fan for a long time now, and his work never ceases to bring the wonder. Julia's House Moves On has stunning watercolor work and a story that brings heartache and joy in equal parts. Moments like Julia's House soaring through the sky; a Sea Queen holding the House in her hands; moments like these and so many more are just breathtaking to behold. There's magic in these pages. A must-add for your dreamers and your planners alike.

Julia's House is one of our favourite books. And now Julia is back, and she has a plan for EVERYTHING.

Loved the book, the illustrations even more and looking forward to read more about Julia in the near future! Please.

Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest view.

I cannot wait to share this book with my students. I love Hatke's artwork in the Julia series, but the plot line is so relevant as we prepare our students to return to school school during such an uncertain moment in time. Julia can feel that it is time to move on, but each of her carefully laid plans is foiled by forces outside of her control, until the moment they aren't and a beautiful adventure unfolds.

**I received this from NetGalley for an honest review. **

I read this book to my friend's child, and she loved it! I asked her what she would rate it and she said '20 stars'. As an adult, my favorite part was all the elements/creatures. Some caused havoc while others made an effort to help Julia. It was an overall lovely book that Ben should be very proud of creating!
