A Middle Grade story full of mystery and magic, the perfect recipe to keep young readers attached to the story and read it through!

Not a bad story. I think it will appeal to children 4th grade up. It covers dyslexia very well, the only book I can think of that actually speaks of it actually. But also will appeal to the kids with its mystery story and characters. It's actually a a fine tale I think all kids will enjoy. Easy, quick read. Maybe something for over a vacation or long weekend.

I liked that dyslexia was a part of the story line. It normalizes learning disabilities for readers who don't have such difficulty, making it less strange to them (and hopefully more sympathetic). A cute little story that I think my students would enjoy!

I recieved a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
The illustrations are great and its a quick, easy read. The book is full of magic and mystery that will hold the readers attention through the more serious parts of the story.

I tried to go a little away from my preferred demographic to try this middle-grade fiction and well, I definitely don't regret taking this up. The story primarily focuses on the dyslexia that spins the entire story. While thaat was my most anticipated aspect of the story, I felt it might've been focused more on it. Rather, the story shifts to the slight mystery and suspense that was possibly built for a middle-grade audience. [Clearly not demeaning any particular age-group; simply making clear the book has targeted readers] and everything that revolved around Hester, Huckleberry and the haunted sugar house they stumble upon. Regardless, the story is really good if you're looking for a light, quick read that deals with deeper issues with some amazing illustrations to accompany the writing.

A perfectly delightful little book that I'm sure young readers who cling to for lessons and illustrations.
