Overall, it was really lovely! This book continues the Waverley sisters story from Garden Spells. The first frost is always a magical time in the Waverley household and this time is no different. Allen weaves the family's new spell involving candy the creates emotions, hair styling that changes lives, and the sisterly love that always brings the family together.
I love that each of the sisters possesses special "gifts". The only character that bothered me a little was Sydney with her baby crazy. However, I have seen friends get baby crazy and this book is a realistic portrayal.
As in all of Allen's stories, the settings are delicious. Old victorian houses, magical gardens with apple trees, and warm kitchens filled with potion-like candies to save the day!
I would recommend this book to any reader who enjoys a little magic and whimsy. It also brings home that family comes first, no matter what.
Will read and write soon!
