REVIEWS

"Mary Poppins meets the Addams Family in a nonstop farce.”
-- Kirkus Reviews, Starred

“Filled to bursting with an eccentric cast of characters, this extravagant tale combines magic, mafiaesque villainy, mythical beasts, foible-filled humans, and humor into a mixture that will appeal to fans of Diana Wynne Jones, J. K. Rowling and even Lemony Snicket. . . . Pure dead fun.”
-- School Library Journal

“Should Lemony Snicket grow a bit stale, here’s the perfect antidote.”
-- Kirkus Reviews, Starred
