Willow Moss & the Lost Day by Dominique Valente

4.0

'I think you'll find that even in the darkest, most hopeless of times there is always a choice when you look hard enough. Even if that choice is simply about how you will act.'

I adored this book. Sometimes, when I'm really needing an escape, I jump into a middle grade book and this was just what I needed to help me out while we still deal with navigating this awful pandemic.

Willow Moss wishes she had a magical ability as grand as her two sisters. Instead, she has the lackluster ability to find lost things. However, when an entire day of the week, Tuesday, goes missing the most feared witch in Starfell, Moreg Vaine, calls on Willow to help her find it. If Tuesday remains lost, it could have devastating repercussions. We then embark on a wonderful adventure with Willow, through the many areas of Starfell, meeting friends along the way, while she tries to solve the mystery of the lost Tuesday.

This book was so enchanting and just such a fun read. Willow is a charming protagonist; I just loved her and all the people she met on her journey. My favorite character, though, was Oswin. A crotchety Kobold, better known as a tabby cat. He added such fantastic humor throughout the story. I highly recommend this book.
