Book Review
I liked Maggie the best because she kept fighting until the end and was able to work together with her friends
This is a funny and adventurous book and the ending is full of twists and turns.
The characters all have unique personalities but they are all noble and loyal heroes. I liked Maggie the best because she kept fighting until the end and was able to work together with her friends.
The illustrations are clear and presentable.
The thing I learned from reading this book is that you should never eat garlic bread or do magic around sheep on fields!
I would recommend this book to scare lovers and people who are aged 8, 9, 10 or 11.
