A review by mehsi
Madame Badobedah by Sophie Dahl
3.0
Mm, still not sure what to think of this one. The art is gorgeous (for reals, I could stare at it forever), I loved seeing the old lady and Mabel bond together. BUT I wasn't a fan of Mabel all the time. I found it rude and NOPE that she was snooping and spying on an older lady. I don't care that the lady is rude, I don't care that she is mysterious. You just don't snoop all the time on that lady.
The story did get better as the two of them bonded, had adventures with tons of imagination, shared stories, and more. However, I was still not happy that Mabel kept calling the woman a villain (thankfully, mostly in her head).
But the art. Holy wow.
Still happy I had a chance to read this book.
