Courtney Crumrin was forced by her parents to move to her great uncle's home, or was it her great, great uncle? No one's quite sure to be honest but all Courtney can remember of her times there before were that the place was quite odd and it hasn't gotten any better. And as uninviting as his home is, her great uncle is just as uninviting. As she stays in the house of her Uncle Crumrin she has many adventures, or misadventures while living there and she learns quite a lot about herself and her uncle.
Curiosity got the best of me with this one. The cover grabbed my attention, as did the description. What in the world could a girl looking like her be doing dealing with a creature like that? And I must say, this one didn't let me down. Courtney is a crass young girl that won my heart over. If you had parents like her's you would be too.
She has no friends but I kind of like how she starts to get along with her Great Uncle. And she has a lot to learn from him when dealing with the world of magic.
All in all, I'd read this again in a heart beat. And even though I received this from netgalley I would consider purchasing this because I do find it a wonderful read.

Yes! Another review. I need to post more. It will happen I just need to push myself to do it. Expect another soon. I just got more books from netgalley. I seem to love that site now. Now to do dishes and then a bit of laundry before a shower and then falling into bed before I fall asleep here on my couch. lol
On a side note, I will try to get my reviews to not... highlight, when I post. I just haven't had time to mess with it all.
