This book was ✨ wild ✨ for a middle grade. Another masterpiece. The characters, the family and friendship dynamics, the storyline, the writing style, all of it is just so good. This series so far is an absolute 10/10* and overall one of my all-time favorites

Really enjoyed this book! A great sequel and just as magical as the first! Might be more suitable for older readers, just like the first, since some scenes could be scary or intense for younger readers. If your child is able to handle Harry Potter, this is a bit lighter so they should enjoy this series. Also loved the line, my favorite out of the entire book, “You can’t be brave if you don’t get scared.” I think it’s a great theme in the book, alongside courage, found family, and coming together for a bigger cause. Great read!

The Hatmakers series seems to be growing with its audience: the stakes are higher, the magic darker, the villain more frightening, the plot more complex. The Hatmakers won me over with its charm and sense of humour, but an adult reader will identify the villain at their first appearance. In this sequel, the twists are less forseeable. I loved this quirky, hopeful story about family and the power of friendship.
As in the first book, I loved the wonderfull inventive glossary.
The audiobook read by the author is delightful.
