Definitely cute and interesting. I'll be recommending it to customers!

What a silly story! Perfect for middle elementary aged kids, lots of humor, mixed with a little real knowledge.

This is such a fun book, exactly the kind of thing I would have read as a kid--there's magic, there are funny characters, there's educational chapters. What more could a fourth-grader ask for? Reminiscent in all the right ways of Louis Sachar's Wayside School, with a touch of Lemony Snicket narration for good measure. Looking forward to the other entries in this series!
