This is a very cute children's book. I expected it to be more adult considering that this is the author of The Dark is Rising but what I got was a charming children's story about a young girl and her adventures with a boggart. His victim, Emily, turns out to be unscarable, but together they come up with a lot of fun ideas to scare the living daylights out of the community
Audience:
3rd-5th grade
What I Love:
The whole story is just charming. I think it's the only children's story I've ever read (except Anne) that takes place in Canada.
Cautions:
This is one of the stories where the kids get away with murder. There are some consequences, but overall their mischief is celebrated. Also, there are some pretty dumb grown-ups
