Moral of the story

I was the wrong audience for this tale. As an adult I found it somewhat boring; the story was geared more towards the adolescent so I really can’t speak for them. However, I give it a high score for its moral intent. The moral of the story is that connivance leads to trouble and unselfish intent is rewarding.

Good clean humorous take on magic!

I appreciate that the author did not stoop to toilet humor, but was original and funny! I'd recommend this for adults and children alike!

THIS BOOK IS PHENOMENAL!!!

A wonderful Magical mess of a book!!! I loved it!!! I'm looking for more of this story to unfold!!!

So entertaining

This was a very creative story that keep me interested in seeing where it would go next. I enjoyed it very much and hope they come out with a second story

A must-listen

This story was very entertaining with twists and humor and a great moral lesson. I recommend this to anyone who feels like they just can’t seem to do anything right.
Carey Mulligan shines reading this book. She did a wonderful job with the different voices and inflections; the characters really came to life.

Surprising Fantastic!

Absolutely entertaining, especially if you like Harry Potter with a twist of Terry Pratchett mixed in! Pure magic it was!

What a fun story!

This was a well paced, well written, and well narrated story. I enjoyed this very much and look forward to continuing on future adventures with this rag tag group of friends.

Very entertaining for adults and young adults.

Full of whimsical mischief and good clean humor. Would have said appropriate for all ages, but the death of the villain was a bit gruesome. Still, overall greatly entertaining and you can't beat the price as an Audible included title.

A most enjoyable listen!

Carey Mulligan is a notable actress, but she is spectacular as a book reader. This story is great, but her performance takes it to next level. The book is very family friendly, perfect for a long car ride. Would very much like to hear more from her and these authors.

1st book

This was my first book on Audible and I wanted something to help get me used to listen to a book instead of reading. This was a nice little fantasy with a great story line.

Don't regret giving it a try

was sceptical at first, loved every bit of it.
audible forces me to write 15 words in a review, which is incredibly stupid. there's nothing more to say. This book is simply amazing and definitely worth a try.

Great and funny

Can we have a sequel please?? A b c d e f g g I j

Good book. More please.

Interesting book. It wasn’t much like the worst witch, despite what i thought at the start.
Weird story line though.

Cool Book

Great comedy throughout but shockingly grim sound effects at the end. Word. Word. Word.

not bad nice

I don't know I don't get the point it's.. umm unique? not bad to be precise

Brilliant

I recommend this book to anyone who is into magic and mishap. This book is so good some bits make me laugh out loud!

Amazing

I really love this book its so interesting and intriguing! I recommend this book! Love it

in response to Pauls Review

Great Book. Paul you do realise the dropped T's are the accents of the characters? Not every Britt is educated at Eton the T's being dropped is pretty standard for working class accents. What a silly comment.

Brilliant

it was amazing. the story was good, the only thing was that the narrator kept not saying the letter t. It doesnt have to be perfect but if you could improve it just a little, it would be great. thankyou.

Fantastic Story Beautifully Read

We really enjoyed this magical romp! It is a funny, warm hearted, entertaining easy listen!
Well constructed story and characters, the villains are great too!
Nice clean story suitable for primary school aged children too.
Hope we see more from this author!
