It’s been a bit since I’ve read a book with a permanent grin on my face. I’ve heard Simon Thomas from Stuck in a Book positively mention this favorite of his numerous times. The book star aligned in my interloan library having a copy and me with some reading time over a weekend. I raced through it furiously due to the need to know what happens in the end?! Baker creates a piece of fiction that is fantasy and humor written in a suspenseful tone. I could feel my anxiety matching the main character’s at times only to be lessened by a bark of laughter at the comedic prose. Just a brilliantly written book.
