When a book is compared to Alice in Wonderland or The Wizard of Oz, it immediately catches my attention. Your review got me excited, so much I even told my 9-year-old cousin (with whom I'm temporarily living) I would enjoy this book since you mentioned the characters are well developed and also the illustrations. One of the things I do enjoy about a children's book is the illustrations. "Lovely" is a nice term to describe them well done.

I loved this review, thank you!

After reading this review I am so excited to dive into this adventure! The books you’ve compared it to are among my absolute favorites and as I am an adult who loves youth fiction, I cannot wait to read this fantastical journey and share it with my niece who loves to escape to fantastic realms through the pages of a good book just as much as I do!

I love the fact that the book is a journey of discovery, not only of the wonders of a new realm, but also of the importance of friendship and teamwork. I'm sure children will find the two stepsisters Hattie and Dacey extremely relatable characters. Thanks for a great review!

I like how this book talks about feelings, about streangthening the bond between the two sisters, and also adds fantasy. I agree with you, I think that children will love this story and I think that they will also learn from the relationship between the two girs.

From the few sample pages, I'm hooked! I love tales of adventure while also teaching children valuable lessons. The story is well-written and edited. It also reminds me of the Wizard of Oz but also Cinderella. The creativity and imagination used in creating this book are outstanding. Great job on your review.

The invisible realm is a really good book and an interesting tale it really captures the interest of the reader,make you think you are actually inside the realm with hattie and dacey on their adventures ,it makes you think you can be extraodinary too ,the tale has adventurous story that has reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, and The Chronicles of Narnia.
The book teaches us to work together,The girls have to work together to solve the mysteries and riddle.

One thing I normally look out for in Children's book is the lesson being passed across. The emphasis on family and conflict resolution is really important. Thanks for the wonderful review.

I love kids books that remind me of works like The Chronicles of Narnia. I still read them if I think they will be fun. In my opinion, you're never too old for the wonder and magic that comes with reading--and sometimes we need the lessons more than kids do! Thank you for the helpful review.
