No One Leaves the Castle by Christopher Healy was such a fun middle grade fantasy read. This would make an enjoyable family or class read aloud–it’s magical, humorous and mysterious all at once. The story is a magical locked-room mystery that gave me similar vibes to Winterhouse and Monty Python combined. The kids are strong and taking care of business when the adults can’t seem to keep it together. It’s just delightful. 

Thank you to @harperkids and @netgalley for the eARC. This publishes Aug 15 and would be a great addition to a family or classroom library.
