"What a refreshing find! I just finished a very long book and needed something light and fun and this book was just the right thing. It reminded me of old children's stories that my great aunt used to read to us as kids. It bounces along at a good pace, with just the right amount of mystery, and interesting characters. I just love Maeve."
