An absent archaeologist, a housekeeper, a librarian, a gardener, a retired actor, and three unlikely witches. As backstories went, it was one of the weirdest Mika had ever heard.
Her eyes very round, seven-year-old Altamira said, with perfect gravity, "That was some excellent Mary Poppins shit right there"
When disaster struck, as disaster inevitably does, Mika was somewhat distressed to find that, on account of being knocked out cold, she was unable to take any satisfaction in being proven well and truly right.
The second book with a Mika that I read this year 🤍 I felt hugged by the book and, at the same time, just wanted to give Mika a hug.
Cozy fantasy with a bit of romance on the side. V cute!
