I Gave This Book 4 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁

Why 4 Roars? I appreciated the humor and found a lot of things to like about the story. However, to be honest, it was the illustrations that drew me into the book.  

Critical Analysis: This story is very much like the Harry Potter Series. It has a lot going on and just a touch of the dark side. It was a little slow at first, but it did pick up speed. Archibald came across as a little over the top, but the writing kept my interest. Harry Potter fans will enjoy reading this one.

It is not a standalone book but the first in the series.
