You have done it again, Mr. Maggert!! :)
This book was amazing! I've read previous books by this author, all of which I have loved, but this book will hold a special place for me! It's got waffles, cooking, tea, and creepy creatures, and oh year, Carlie is magic! She's a witch with some amazing powers, and a really good heart. I loved this book from page one to the end. It's clever, fantastic writing, and a story that could entertain anyone.
What I always love about Maggert's books is he doesn't write off the side characters. He's a genius with the details of fleshing out characters other then the narrator. He gives us details, and character traits, and by the end of the book, you know the characters like you know your friends. That's how it was her. After I finished this book, I missed Carlie, Gus, Gran, and even Major. I missed the story. I felt like it was a movie playing only in my head, and I wanted to rewind and watch it all over again.
There's the perfect level of suspense, story, humor, and wit in this novel. They journey deep into the heart of a ancient forest to find a magical grove of trees, and there's a few twist and turns I didn't see coming, but this story was perfect! We got to see Carlie's magic in action, and we got to deliver some much deserved justice to some spirits. Take a chance on this story! You will not regret it!
Can't wait for book 2, and the audio book version! Very well done!
