If you're looking for a fun, middle grade novel, I would recommend going for this one. There's humor, adventure, and it also discusses more serious themes to go along with it. The writing style was very reminiscent of the books I read as a child, like A Series of Unfortunate Events. It was whimsical and brought back a lot of memories of my favorite children's books, like Roald Dahl. My favorite part about this book would have to be the illustrations. It's amazing that being a debut novel, the author managed to write and illustrate this book. The illustrations were wonderfully depicted and outshined my enjoyment of the story.
