  • Clean, hilarious story which is fun to read allowed!

    The Quirk family- mom, grandpa, grandma, twin girls and little brother have a character for everyone. They talk about their magic 'quirk' and how they are adjusting in thier new town of Normal. I enjoyed our son's giggles as he reads this book and we also enjoyed reading this allowed with little brother. There are no mentions of witches or ghosts in this book (that i remember) and i appreciate that. Thanks for such a comical story about a family of misfits.
