Button Box is such a cute and magical story. I loved the timeslip element of it and the adventure. The Victorian setting was perfect. It felt a little bit like Oliver Twist but with a lot more adventure. I do have to say I prefer the past setting to the present but I think this is in part due to the parents and step sisters or Susan. We do have a lot of ‘evil step sister’ vibes going on with them and I did feel the father was rather useless with helping Susan but I digress.

This was a really fun read. The plot was equally easy to follow and complex at the same time. The characters were all rather complex, at least in the Victorian time, and well developed. There was also a nice cross section of society at the time from explorers to thieves and so much more. It is clear, I think anyway, that Enright researched and knows their stuff when it comes to Victorian England.

If you are interested in history and time travel/time slip novels this will be a fun and rather cosy read despite the adventure! An easy 5 again.

As always thank you to ZooLoos Book Tours for the copy to review. My review is always honest and truthful.
