EXCERPT:

She knew that there was something really wrong when she noticed that the gnome in her painting was gone. She had just finished the painting yesterday and went home from the studio and now, the very next day, that same gnome she spent hours working on had completely vanished! Everything else was still there. The owl. The city in the sky. The snail. The hot air balloons and even the lily pads on the water. The only thing that had vanished was the gnome. Was it even possible or was she dreaming?

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -

I enjoyed this children's book. I loved the history and world within these pages. One woman knew the truth but only drew about it. Her granddaughter saw those drawings and investigated and believed. The mythology of gnomes and the magical realm made for an interesting story. At times, it felt a bit repetitive, but I so enjoyed Edy and Monika as they tried to save the magical realm and the human world. Great for primary and elementary children.
