I loved this adventure book. It was full of mythical creatures, and it has a message about saving the environment. The pictures are great too. Sometimes I struggle to finish longer books but this
one kept me reading all the way through. I couldn’t put it down - I would definitely recommend it!

My daughters and I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this amazing adventure! It was clearly written by a talented chef! (The hidden recipes made us hungry. 😋)
The different voiced characters and sound effects really added to the adventure.
At the end of the audiobook, my youngest was upset that the adventure wasn't continuing - please write another story, she wants to know what's behind the other garden walls!!
We look forward to future novels from you and your family.

Wonderful family story!
