Helpful Score: 1
What a fun, lovely book! I initially picked this up on a recommendation from one of the members of GoodReads in The Next Best Book Club. Having read both [book:The 101 Dalmatians|511614] and [book:The Starlight Barking|31964] when I was a child, I was intrigued about reading a novel by the same author. I was not disappointed!
Written in a journal style, the reader gets a glimpse into the mind of Cassandra Mortmain, a charming and interesting girl living with her unorthodox family in a crumbling house attached to a fourteenth century castle. The setting may be unusual, but Cassandra's coming of age tale is very typical, although charmingly so.
So as to avoid spoilers, as half the fun of reading this book is meeting the characters and reading Cassandra's attempts to describe both her situation and her surroundings, I will only say that this was great read, and I recommend it.
