Her opinion matters the most from an enjoyment perspective but that's not all we read books for. I'm generally a fan of the series and am happy to read these books repeatedly but I know she can do better. Cordelia picks her way through brambles rather than using magic or flying, the timing of travel and distances, Bartholomew making a cheese toastie so a joke about moon cheese can be forced in, Nova using "night" from the perspective of Isadora's town to determine when she has to get home, her mom working at a stardust factory.

Harriet Muncaster seems to have done no research on astronomy before attempting this book and no one else in the process intervened. We have all the Isadora moon books and have read all of them multiple times (except this one that I read once to my 4 year old before writing this review).
