Gli straordinari fallimenti di Leopold Berry

This was the strangest story I have read in a very long time. It was a wonderful start to what I hope will turn into a great series. The world building was strange especially since Sunder was described both as the tv show and the reality we eventually step into. the magic is interesting and fairly u Leggi tutto

Thank you to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group for providing a digital review copy in exchange for my honest opinion. Wow, what a surprise this book was!
