What a lovely, magical book! Perfect Cornelia Funke style, but I'm impressed that she managed to set it in "today" and yet make it feel timeless!
My only negative feedback is that I WISH Cornelia had illustrated it herself. I truly miss her illustrations and these don't live up to them.

I liked Caspia, and the other characters. They are all very likeable and sweet and make the book so cute and cosy. I also liked that the book doesn't dwell on a love story, but is primarily about friendship and family. It's a children's book, but I found the topic of plant puzzles very fascinating and can recommend this to adult readers too.

The author made it very clear how much she cares about the environment.
