I bought the second book in the series straight after I finished it and I hope to pick it up soon. I loved this book and had so much fun reading it with our wonderful members. Today I’m bringing you a very long-awaited review for the September BOTM for the Middle Grade Marvels book club I co-host with Holly and Noly!
