This was a Hoopla audiobook win for us! I personally wasn’t a big fan of the subsequent two books in the series (links below), but this one was great.
By the way, it wasn’t until after we began listening to this series that I learned Disney made a movie based off of it. This is in no way even the slightest endorsement of that, but rather Eve Titus’s charming original story. 😊
