"Life is an adventure and anything in the world is possible - by will and by luck, a moist carrot, a wet nose and a slice of mad courage."It was through searching for more Santa Mortefiore books that I discovered this series for middle grade and younger (even older).
Call this a short and sweet review. Perfect for the targeted audience with adventure and suspense. The illustrations were great connecting the reader and characters. You are stronger than you think, courageous when you don't feel like it. Yea not just a good story but good morals for little ones.
