*I got this book for review for my honest thoughts*

I really enjoyed this middle grade ghost story so much. I really though the chracters and the world building was standout in this novel. I really had a hard time putting this book down. I also loved how this story not only build a complex world but also could expand readers knowledge in easy to understand way. I also loved even thought his book was very magical. mystical in nature some themes like friendship and parents were pretty universal. I really found this book to be charming read and found it to the right mix of adventure but also creepy and think it would make a prefect fall read! ( )

This was a super fun read. I love the characters in here and can't wait to see more of them. This was also my first Victoria Schwab book, but I'm looking forward to reading her others, especially the YA and adult books. ( )
