It looked like Mr. Beiderman was breathing happiness into his body.

I was not aware that this book is basically a advent calendar book. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it even though Christmas is still far away.
The family bond is very strong and I adored every character.
The slightly deeper topics where discussed in a very sensible way for the younger demographic.
It was a good beginning and I’m excited to follow this cast in another adventure.
If you enjoyed books like The Penderwicks, I think you would also enjoy this novel
