The Girl and the Witch's Garden by Erin Bowman
4.0
Sweet, magical story. This is definitely something I would have loved when I was younger and read more middle grade. It was a quick and easy read and had a really intriguing plot, even as an adult. The magic and world-building, in general, felt pretty special and unique.
I appreciated the serious undertones a lot, too. The main character Piper’s parents have been divorced since she was little and now her had is struggling with cancer. It’s the kind of situation some kids need to read about. Although, Piper’s mom was kind of hard to read. Her character was just so cold and without understanding why, it seemed kind of unnecessary at times.
I had a few other small problems, but I think that just comes with the territory of being older and reading a book meant for children.
Overall, a fun read for anyone.
