Oh, Ursula Vernon, you are a delight to my soul, and a paragon of silliness. Dragon donkey, mid-sized Witch, mole magic and a castle with needy minions and an overgrown garden -- a paradise of potential that does not disappoint. Not since Tiffany Aching have I been so enchanted with a 12 year old witch. Good company, that. Ursula Vernon riffs on Eva Ibbotson. Perfection. Unless Castle Hangnail gets a new Master soon, it will be decommissioned. And the minions will have to go. So when young Molly shows up to be the Master candidate, they are cautious but willing to give her an opportunity. Molly loves the castle, loves the minions, and is, in fact, a Wicked Witch-- but her bona fides aren't exactly up to snuff. So, how can she protect and defend the castle, win over the populace, etc, and finish the Tasks to become Master, without getting tangled up in her misdirections? I love Molly. I love Molly's neighbors. I love the minions. I love how Vernon has put what are clearly parts of herself into this character, and to the experiences... but I also love how she has taken Eva Ibbotson's inspiration to make a truly entertaining and heartwarming story. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This was a very fun read. Vernon (who publishes for adults as T. Kingfisher) has a delightful writing style, and I loved getting to know these characters. There's lots of humor, and the plot moves apace, with interesting (if sometimes predictable) twists and turns. If you enjoy middle-grade fantasy, this one is a pleasure to read. ( )
