The Cozies: The Legend of Operation Moonlight by T. L. Fischer
4.0
The story of The Cozies is told by Thursby - a five inch tall elegantly dressed imaginary figment with a head like a lop-eared rabbit - to a lecture hall of people with illustrated figures to assist his storytelling. It is a heartwarming tale of six nursery figments of imagination, a little boy nicknamed Bingo, Bingo's great-grandfather, whom they call Augie and the troubling events that happen when the family hires a new Nanny, Agnes. To keep this spoiler free, the six imaginary beings - Thursby, Musetta, Gubbins, Rumple, Gracie and Ruby - have to figure out if and how they can help fix the real world trouble.
It was great that these very different figments all had different appearances and personalities depending on what had inspired the child that imagined them. It was also an interesting plot with the 'trouble' that needed fixing being the main focus and the limitations of the Cozies being the additional problem they need to overcome.
The layout of this book was fun to read - lunch breaks and people sneaking into the lecture interrupting Thursby's story - as it added a degree of suspense to the story though I feel it was done a few too many times during the short novel. Otherwise, The Cozies is a well-written story that would be a great book to read to children or for children that like reading chapter books, but it is also quite enjoyable to read as an adult.
