Why read it?
1 author picked Octavia Bloom and the Missing Key as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Octavia is another character I adore and one that my daughter fell in love with as well. This is the first book in a five-book set and you get to go on adventures in a fairy world with the Bloom Family. It’s absolutely a charming portal-hopping tale filled with adventures, animal sidekicks, and a sense of wonder. It will have all the kids, and some adults, looking in their attic for a fairy door. It’s a book that is perfect for bedtime or those chilly rainy days.
From Nikki's list on portal-hopping middle-grade.
