Reviews
This delightful fiction book captures the imagination with its whimsical tales of a magical chair that grants the characters exciting adventures. I enjoyed how the story effortlessly combined everyday life with fantastical elements, making it both relatable and enchanting. My favorite character was Chinky the pixie. His resourcefulness and loyalty to Mollie and Peter made him stand out. His humorous quirks also added a layer of fun to the story. This book interested me because it evoked a sense of nostalgia and wonder, reminding me of childhood dreams of magical journeys. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves light-hearted fantasy, especially children or those looking for a charming escape into a world of adventure.

I thought that this book was very eventful and surprising events happen in each chapter. Harriet or Mollie are my favourite characters. This book is fictional. The best moment was when they met the Snoogle. I recommend this book for people aged between 6 and 9.

I thought that it was about a chair and if you grant a wish it comes true! But it isn't. I Iiked Binky because he was cheeky when they visited Witch Snippit's hous because he was cheeky using the magic paint. I would recommend this book to everyone! It's really cool and I am positive it will be a bestseller!

My favourite character is Mollie because she's the girlie character. There were loads of different adventures including places with weird characters and I liked this. I also liked Binky because he was an adorable pixie.
