Like A Charm by Elle McNicoll

hopeful lighthearted slow-paced

2.5

I enjoyed aspects of this book, like the fact that it was set in Edinburgh (where I live). The author evidently knows the city very well and captures it brilliantly. I enjoyed the depictions of various magical creatures and the individual spin the author added on them. However, the book did feel quite cliched and as though its focus was on a message rather than a plot - this is not necessarily a bad thing, I just prefer books to be more subtle with their underlying meanings or moral tales. Nonetheless, it would be a good book for children to read to learn more about dyspraxia.
