Highly recommend that you buy this book, and maybe buy some strawberries while you're at it (cheeky little spoiler alert) I’ll be re-reading it with my kids and can’t wait to read the next in the series once it is released! She was likeable from the start and I wanted her to succeed.

) readers. I just spent a delightful afternoon at The House At The Edge of Magic. Amy has a lively imagination and the ability to cleverly draw her readers into the crazy but hilarious magical house.
