this is a really good middle-grade book, with all the pros you expect from middle grade: lovable characters, a simple yet engaging plot, funny moments, and a heartwarming ending. it's cozy, but still fun and adventurous. it has a wide variety of characters who are all lovable in their own ways, and it teaches forgiveness, understanding, and self-confidence.
