First Line: “Here we were again.”
Summary: The main character travels to a cabin in the woods with their mother. They experience a day like every other day the spend together in the cabin. Until, their game gets dropped into the pond! (exclamations inserted) At first the main character was very sad, then they started to notice all of the things around them, turning the forest magical.

Their Thoughts: “It was adventurous.” (9 year-olds can be so difficult to talk into expanding on their opinions!)
My Thoughts: I give you permission to be frustrated with me for judging books by covers, or in this case titles. I expected more “magic” in this story. It was still a lovely read, i just hoped for a bit more imagination. The illustrations were well-done. I like the thematic color choices and the bright orange hoodie.
Happy Reading our friends,
Mama Lala, Maggie, & Conor
