Review (No Spoilers)
I’m not much of an MG reader, but I’ve very much been trying to change that. Over the past year or so, I’ve been reading a lot more MG novels, mostly fantasy for some reason, so Octavia Bloom and the Missing Key really fit in with the rest of my recent reads.
Of all of the recent MG fantasy novels that I’ve read, however, Octavia Bloom was probably the one with the best/most detailed world-building. We follow the story of a young 10 year old girl named Octavia as she, her sister, and her cousins, discover a hidden magical world in their house and decide to explore it. Soon after, they learn that their abilities to traverse this new dimension could be the key to breaking their family’s curse.
Not only was the plot of the story unique and a lot of fun, but it was also full of great moral lessons, wonderful family dynamics, and a bunch of super cute creatures 😍. You can’t help but root for Octavia as she and her family work together to complete their quest. There was also a healthy dose of hilarity included that provided me with many much needed laughs.
