Cute, witty, entertaining! I grabbed this book in hopes of finding a fun adventure to share with my niece. I cannot wait to get a copy of this book to gift my niece, as it was exactly what I was hoping for.

Archibald is a nerdy, adventurous, and highly intelligent 11 year old boy. We see growth from him on his adventure, and I can’t wait to see what he gets into in book 2. I would compare the reading level to the Percy Jackson and Harry Potter books. Highly recommend this book!

I really like this book. It has some Spirderwick vibes - it's just magical in the same way.
You follow two simultaneous stories. One is Archibald himself as he is trying to understand what has he gotten himself into, and the other one is his sister as she is trying to solve the mystery that is her brothers' disappearance.
Both kids encounter interesting allies and enemies along the way and their stories are interesting making this book quite easy to finish in one sitting.

I must note that there are some topics that some readers might think are outdated like Archibald having to pose as a girl since the world is full of female witches and him not liking that. (you know the old girl-stuff, boy stuff discussions)... But I don't know... I liked the story and it didn't bother me that much. Maybe it might bother someone else...
Regardless the story is interesting and it might be a cool series.

The audiobook is great. The narrator does an amazing job.

My Thoughts:
After Archibald parents inherent a 20 room mansion from his grandparents Archibald decides to go exploring his large new home when a globe captures Archibald's attention. Soon he’s absorbed right into the globe, and his sister witness this happening . So while Everyone Is looking for Archibald ,
Archibald is in a new world and sets off on a magical adventure.
This is a cute book for ages 9 - 13 although I did enjoy listening to it also I have to mention that the narrator did a great job reading this book. If you have children around that age that like stories like Harry Potter they will like this.
Thanks #netgalley for letting me read this and give my honest opinion
