Super cute! Loved the small town village/island setting, it reminded me a lot of stardew valley bc of it. I thought the Somali sisters (is that how you spell it? Idk I listened to the audiobook lol) were all so distinct in their personalities. Also the premise of them visiting their grandpa and the love they had for him was nostalgic for me to read. I remember doing the same and it reminded me of those simpler times. 

Overall, I enjoyed this :)

A simple but very entertaining middle grade fantasy novel about three sisters looking to find buried treasure to help their sick grandfather. It has a pure vibe to it, with only occasional attempts at the accepted level of bumps in the night. While it was nothing groundbreaking, it was an enjoyable, light and quick read.
