Scott, Erno, and Emily are a really fun bunch of characters to follow through the story. Each one has a strong presence in the novel and I honestly loved their friendship. Scott is the "normal" one in the bunch at the beginning, but things get rather strange quickly for him when he really starts seeing "things." Erno and Emily are "twins" (but not really siblings)--both incredibly intelligent and constantly being tested (in the form of "games") by their foster father. Emily is the smarter of the two, consistently winning the "games," but she's also a very sweet sister. Their sibling relationship is sweet and believable--even they have the little sibling arguments here and there.
The story is overall a fun, whimsical adventure. The magic and mayhem that the kids get involved with is entertaining and I think that readers young and old can appreciate the comical situations that the kids endure throughout the story. For kids who love stories of magic and mischief, this is a must read.

This one sounds really cute and fun!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the review, Jessi!
This looks like a lot of fun! I love how the synopsis was laid out! I wish Imhad grabbed this on NG!
Tomb Raider, Mega Moolah, Mermaid's Millions, and Blackjack are some of the new Android game apps that have been released from Microgaming's
partner, Spin 3. Thus the games like the
Mahjongg Spiele as well as the Naegel machen games
are more in demand and this is the greatest benefit or advantage of the online games.
The reason for this rather strange feature
is that, as described above, apps in the Android Market are
listed as they are submitted, without any testing.
