Enjoyed listening to this book very much. It's aimed at children but I loved it as a full adult :)

Narrator's performance is very good and keeps your interest.

I love that Mia was able to think creatively to improve her life and help others in times of hardship, or when she felt she had ailed or felt inadequate! Very heartwarming story
