Absolutely loved this!

I love the author’s mind with this story! Where else can you get a giant tortoise vs horse smackdown? And a laidback, academic bear with various supernatural items in a quaint, little mansion. Think: Pandora’s box but with all the bite taken out of it.  

Also, Pickles is the cutest piggy adventurer. She’s got hug magic, y’all. Back up!

Overall, this was so charming, and it resolved its story nicely. I would love to see another book in the series just to see Taft and Pickles, again. Baer's arc and

Wilhelmina's arc - I was wondering how long that chicken was going to verbally abuse her. :/

was so good. 

Unadulterated pure fun! Unadulterated pure fun! The cast of characters are hilarious and the message is sweet and wholesome. Please read expeditiously!
