The Hippo at the End of the Hall by Helen Cooper, Helen Cooper
5.0

A wonderful book that I would highly recommend!

I’m always deterred from children’s novels that aren’t historical simply because they’re often either whimsical fantasy aimed at girls or funny-rude flimsy aimed at boys.
This book was a perfect mix of children’s fantasy that could be read by anyone and enjoyed. It was neither too fantastical, too historical, or too factual.
The characters were responsible and well rounded and the writer did an amazing job at conveying the emotions of both adults and children.

And bonus points! The ending wasn’t disappointing! Everything fit well together and I’m not left with any substantial questions or plot holes!!
