Cute story. Loved the illustrations. The ending could’ve used a bit more umph as the solution was a bit simplified but overall a good Christmas story that reads like classic children’s literature.

My dad's girlfriend got this book for me for christmas one year… I was probably 10 or 11. I read this book probably 3 or 4 times. There was something so riveting about it; the magic, plot, and friendships. It was my favorite book for a really long time… I think that was for two reasons: it really is a great book and it was the longest book I'd read by myself at that point that wasn't Harry Potter. Which brings me to a potential third point, it has a wonderful female lead!

Why yes I am reading a Christmas book in February. Maybe because I need some Christmas magic in my life right now. I first read this book when I was very young and though the story is quite a bit simpler for me now, I still enjoyed it for what it is.

A reread of a childhood favorite. Still a sweet, captivating, and festive read, although as an adult the pacing is a little off.
