This book is absolutely adorable, and the rep is amazing! It’s one of those gems we need – and are slowly getting – more of in children literature.
I loved the characters (Laurel in particular 😅). They were funny and touching and they all deeply cared for the MC.
The rep, as I said, is on point. I was a bit worried that they would “cure” Maggie’s OCD by giving her friends, but the subject is well developed. The creators’ note at the end helped put things in perspective too.
And of course the RPG inclusion is what made me pick up the book in the first place. It reminded me why I love RPG (and D&D in particular) so much.
A must read!!!
