Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono

I think I have said this before but I think sometimes middle grade is used a little too broadly. This sits perfectly between kid lit and middle grade. Not short enough to be a children's chapter book but not complicated enough to be middle grade. I don't know what best describes that but that's where this book sits for me.
This book is very cute. A little witch with her flying broom and talking cat, going on little adventures over the course of a year in her quaint sea side town. This has got to be the epitome of cozy fantasy. Low stakes and vibes. That what this book is. And I think readers are either going to love or hate it. For me I think this is great. That perfect "read a chapter out loud before bedtime" kind of book.
This book is almost nothing like the movie. I think its even less like than the movie then Howl's Moving castle was. If you go into this looking for the movie then you are going to be disappointed.
A solid children's read. Perfect for any little witch or wizard looking for a comfortable read.
