I give this a 10/10!! It’s is so interesting and especially the reason that it is set in 19 or 10 and something. It is so cool and interesting and unique and just let yourself gasp and be amazed at the end!!!!! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is 6 or older.

The blurb or details don't indicate that this is really a young teen book.
I erroneously bought it thinking it was intended for an adult reader and shall be returning it..
The narrator, too I think is very young as her pronunciation, diction and reading was spirited but amateurish.
I am sure young listeners would enjoy this.

Children's book

Review written by my daughter; I am 10 and I listened to this and it is so amazing. I love the characters, it feels like they are my new friends. I love the way it’s set in the past and all the clothes sound so glamorous! The author, Katherine Woodfine, should be crowned best author ever! I can’t wait to read (or listen to) the next one in the series, The jewelled moth.

My new favourite book
