This is my first MUST READ of the summer! Here are some reasons why,,,
1. Who can resist that cover?
2, no orphans! This book actually has parents! And realistic ones you can actually believe and even like a little. (I'm getting a little tried of all the orphans - can you tell?)
3. WORDS! Wonderful, splendiferous, spindiddly words! Felicity sees words everywhere and collects them.
4. I got to see/hear Natalie Lloyd speak at TLA and she is a hoot! She held her own among a panel of veteran authors.
5. Fabulous first novel!
6. Who doesn't love ice cream in summer? And ice cream plays a major role in this book- it's practically a character.
7. You will love the Beedle- wheelchair and all!
8. Everyone needs a friend who thinks they are plumb perfect!
9. The town of Midnight Gulch
And 10. It's simply MAGICAL!
