The Crowns of Croswald by D.E. Night
3.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to @author.denight for this book. I had not heard of this one previously!

I enjoyed this fun, fantastical story! This one started off a little slow for me, and I worried that it was a little too similar to Harry Potter. As an avid, HP fan, I was making a lot of comparisons. Eventually, the story picked up, and I began to enjoy the unique, magical elements of this story. I was impressed by some of the witty details and connections woven throughout. I was hooked by the end and found the twists and turns fun and exciting. I am curious to know what happens next on Ivy’s journey and will probably have to find out!

This book will likely be added to my classroom library, and I would recommend it to kiddos who are a little young for Harry Potter or kids who have finished Harry and are looking for something similar. The fact that it’s a series is a plus for young readers (especially the ones I know)!
