Another excellent collection of Phoebe and Marigold’s misadventures, this time with a few goblins thrown in. I just love this series so much. In my head, I think I like unicorns, but honestly, most of the time I find stories about them kind of boring. However Marigold is lovely (duh!) and magnificent and I just love her relationship to Phoebe. They are funny and adorable and I don’t think I will ever get tired of reading about their time together.
Phoebe is such a wonderful character who is un-apologetically herself with all her strengths and flaws shining through. Simpson has created some truly lovable and remarkable characters. Heck, at this point, I’ll even put up with Dakota because of all of the complexity she brings to this series.
Great books for kids and adults alike, even better when read together.
