I'm so hear for magical and talking typewriters. This was just the perfect about magic and heart. A talking typewriter who helps a family get through awkward relationships and a cancer diagnosis (again). It was sad and heartwarming and beautiful all once. Showing the power of a family who can get through hard times together. 
And of course Narnia. The magical story of Narnia and books shows up a powerful tool to bind and help hurts. 

This bool would be good as an older  mature MG read or a family read aloud. Lots of topics to navigate and discuss as a family. Potential content warning: family dysfuction, cancer, possible suicdal ideations.
