The Crowns of Croswald
by D.E. Night
This was my first middle-grade read! Well, since I was actually a kid, that is. I think books like The Crowns of Croswald prove that a book meant for a younger audience can still be captivating and fun! The magic system felt quirky and lighthearted and yet mysterious too.
I am SUCH a fan of Ivy! I think you can't help but like her - she is curious and determined and also kind to the core. She clearly loves the new friends she makes at school plus the creatures (dragons and porcupines) that she picks up along the way.
The only thing I wish we got more of was time - time with the characters to really get to know them. I feel like we have a high-level knowledge of Ivy and her friends, and the story could really benefit by learning more about them!
