My Review

What a treasure! Gemma is going to go visit her cousins in Canada, she’ll be flying by herself from England. She faces challenges that are totally relatable for younger readers. I love the secret rooms and the fun that they have together. A great beginning to what I believe will be a wholesome series for young girls everywhere. The writing is great for beginners without feeling juvenile for adult readers. The pacing is steady and the plot is one that will resonate with pre-teens across the globe. One of my favorite parts was the word count at the end of each chapter – it really gives you a sense of accomplishment. I can’t wait to see what Gemma and her cousins get into next!
