A review by tcbueti
The Time of Green Magic by Hilary McKay

4.0

Creepy but charming, too-expensive house beguiles a blended family, forcing the mom to have to travel. Avid reader Ali finds herself falling into her books (Kon Tiki); younger stepbrother has a comforting but terrifying big cat friend. Older stepbrother develops a crush on their French au pair. Is their brother falling into her cave-painting-inspired sketchbook?
