Review:

I do not often reach for middle grade books when I'm looking for something to read but I'm glad I was given the chance to review Which Way to Anywhere by Cressida Cowell. This is defiantly a book series I would purchase for my son when he is gets to the reading stage. Which Way to Anywhere had a perfect mix of loveable characters and not so loveable characters who we follow through an alternate universe on a high stakes adventure. With portals, robots, an entire world of never seen creatures and magical abilities, Which Way to Anywhere is brimming with excitement and whimsical fun. Pick this up for the child in your life, or even yourself and enjoy the fun magical adventure.
