apuchan 's review for:

Secrets of the Chocolate House by Paula Brackston

5.0

---

I really liked this book. Brackston keeps the book realistic in terms of family and friends - if one was actually capable of time travel. Some people didn't like the way she went back to her mom every so often, but I feel that I would for mine, so Xanthe was relatable for me.

I love learning about history through this story and found much of it interesting. I would never have known about chocolate house gatherings otherwise!

Starting the next book in the series now!
