My description for this book can only be described as a glowing one . This book was very enjoyable for the entire family . If you are looking for an entertaining yet family friendly book 'The Marvellers ' is where you should start your search . Once you have read it you will want to start it all over again . With excellent vocabulary and an engaging story , characters and plot this book has absolutely everything . Ella was by far our favourite character . The books cover is also not hard to look at with wonderful illustrations that give you a clear feel for the story and look at the multiplicity of characters . I simply cannot put into words how lovely i found this book I fear if I try I many come across as pretentious . Great for adventures , great for bedtime stories great for the imagination . In short the world needs more stories like ' the marvellers '.
