"The Words We use shape our world. They are the bricks with which we build our days. So if you have a choice, why choose an ugly word that will make you feel unhappy? It's always better to go for good words. It simply makes sense. "

This was such a whimsical and magical adventure perfect for young readers. I'm 36 and it was everything I needed to finish my 2023. I simply adored it. 

Such a charming story about a very special 11 year old girl whose passion for words saves a quaint yet wordly village from losing words altogether. 

I simply adored all the characters... they were quirky and full of personality and creativity. The relationship between Flo and her grandpa isn't one to be dismissed it's adorable and reminded me so much of my own relationship with my late grandad. It definitely touched my heart. 

Honestly my only critique about this book is the cover... I personally purchase books because the cover draws me to them. With this one I felt the cover simply doesn't convey the story inside and I just wish the cover was as amusing as the words within its pages. 

I highly recommend this book for all ages and for anyone that loves the written word. It's just so light hearted and lovely it's impossible not to enjoy. 

I received an e-copy of this book courtesy of Random Things Tours & the author, Veronica Del Valle in exchange for my own honest review. Thank you 😊
