Brilliant fantasy, what a great book!
Not a bit embarrassed to admit that I really enjoyed this story! The title was so catchy that after I read her charming Wishtide mystery I simply had to try this out even though it's supposed to be a kids book.The unique magical chocolate is brilliant. Fanciful creatures (both good and bad) are clever. The situations are so silly, but captivating and intriguing, and oh how the author keeps it lighthearted and FUN, but not cheesy. A couple solid twists as the plot evolves to be more serious with powerful teary-eyed moments that made me cry twice! Human insight mixed in too. EXCELLENT smiling NARRATOR omg she captures the personalities perfectly. Wow, It's really nice to switch over to a nice airy listen like this after finishing a much heavier novel. My heart feels light when I read Kate Saunders she has a gift. Thank you! ADULTS ENJOY THIS TOO
