I wish I could give this 10 stars. I loved this writer's style and story immensely. It's labeled for young adults but forget that- it is as delightful for adults of all ages as for teens. Set in 1952 Los Angeles and London, you'll love Jane, Benjamin, Pip, the Apothecary and maybe even Sarah! At the time of the Communist witch hunts in the USA, two screenwriters move to London with their daughter to write for the BBC to avoid being arrested as Communist sympathizers only for their daughter to get tied up in a magical mystery that will take her and her friends to the Soviet Union!
