Bats in the Belfry
What Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Expert Reviewers said: This work of children's literature was very visually appealing and quirky. The author created a magical, alternative universe that looks like Pleasantville but is home to mythical creatures like dragons and trolls./ Well-written and has an interesting concept of parallel worlds going for it. As long as there is a market for fantasy stories, this kind of book will probably be popular./I enjoyed the way the witches referred to the mundane, human world as "the humbug world" and found all of the witches to be humorous and entertaining. They reminded me of my grandmother and her friends, meddling in everyone else’s business and being silly. /The strongest aspect of the story would definitely be the author's ease at creating and delivering an entirely familiar, yet utterly unique and vivid world that mimics the 1950's and is home to witches and all sorts of fun, magical odds and ends./ Boys and girls will really like this story. Dennis the emerald colored dragon will surely entice them. Whoever imagined a fire breathing dragon that acted like a puppy dog? Fun and entertaining.
