Unique names and a unique story always catch my attention. This sounds like a fun adventure. Magic and mystery are a great combination.

Magic is the key to this interesting young-adult novel about a young girl, Silent Lee, searching for her missing aunt. This sounds like a fun and exciting story. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Great review! Thanks to the reviewer for your wonderful review.

Thanks for the wonderful review! This sounds like an interesting book; however, I don't believe it is one I would be particularly interested in. I like the fact that the author helps the reader learn how to pronounce the characters' names! I have read books where I had no clue how to pronounce some of the names, which hindered my enjoyment of the books.

The book sounds fun and light-hearted. I'm not big on series, but the characters seem as interesting as their names.

Thanks for your review. The characters in this book sure have interesting names, such as Silent or Generous. Still, the plot reminds me of Harry Porter.

It seems that Sie and Raahi are great opposite characters and interesting protagonists. YA is not my genre, but I will check the sample of this book. Great job with the review.

Actually this review makes the book look dramatic instead of magical, it raises up curiosity but makes me wanna read it somehow.

I love when a book has a cleverly designed plot. However, I think that the book is primarily suitable for younger children.

The perfect short book for relaxation. I enjoy books about parallel worlds and found the sample of this book intriguing. After reading your review, I want to know more about Aunt Generous. Thank you for your great review.

This book sounds perfect for children (as you have mentioned) because it has an engaging story with the right amount of humour, magic and intrigue, and also doesn't contain profanity or erotic content.
Besides, I wonder what happened to Aunt Generous. And I find the book title amusing.
