#BookReview: A True Home (Heartwood Hotel #1) by Kallie George @DisneyHyperion #Giveaway

Well, this sums up our posts for today. We hope you enjoyed them! I know we did!    When Mona the Mouse stumbles across the wondrous world of the Heartwood Hotel in the middle of a storm, she desperately hopes they'll let her stay. As it turns out, Mona is precisely the maid they need at the grandest hotel in Fernwood Forest, where animals come from far and wide for safety, luxury, and comfort. But the Heartwood Hotel is not all acorn souffl and soft moss-lined beds. Danger lurks, and as it approaches, Mona finds that this hotel is more than a warm place to spend the night. It might also be a home.

This delightfully enticing start of a new chapter book series tells a tale of friendship, courage, and community, with exquisite black-and-white illustrations throughout..

Awesome Annie is swamped with school so this is her thoughts on this story. She gave it a million stars and said that she really loved the illustrations. She said it helped her see the story. (I swear this kid is way older than 6 some days)

I really loved this little home away from home it was quick and cute and we're glad that we have book two.

Great books for kids.
