My review:
5 ️️️️️
What a fun unexpected supernatural story/adventure.
It's diverse and inclusive and has a character who is in a wheelchair going through abrupt and hard changes in her life: loss of a parent, bullying, isolation, her disease made her dependent on a wheelchair.
There are so many mysteries and questions set up in the first pages that I read this one in one sitting. Where does Jerry's mom go every night? Are the woods really haunted? Are ghosts real? Is Jerry going to overcome her difficulties? Is Jerry's dragon a product of her grief? Will she find new friends who will make her smile again with common interests who understand her? Are witches for real? What about those Guardians?
Very well written. It answers all the questions with awesome twists.
Supernatural, paranormal, awesome family and new friends relationship.
