Book Review

the best book I have ever read!

The Museum of Lost Umbrellas by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick is the best book I have ever read!

When I began the 1st chapter I couldn’t predict what was going to happen, I had no idea how exciting the story was going to become. My favourite character was Dilly, the story revolved around her and I felt like I was on the journey with her, experiencing every moment.

The story was magical, exciting and unpredictable that’s why I loved it so much. At the end of each chapter I was desperate to read on to see what would happen next.

The way Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick describes the museum and Ollipest Island helped me to paint a picture in my mind of what it was like, I would love to live there, but only by the end of the story!

I can’t wait for the next book in the Cloud Witch Chronicles because this one took me on such a great and magical adventure.

About the Book

When Dilly arrives on the island of Ollipest, she is unsure what to expect from her new life . . . She certainly doesn’t expect to find magic!

Until now, the magic of Ollipest Island has been a well-kept secret. Then the Museum of Lost Umbrellas opens after many years of closure . . .

And when the museum attracts some unsavoury anti-magic outsiders, Dilly must unlock her ancestral powers to help keep the island safe.
