Thaddeus Cane’s life changed when he learned he is the son of a witch and a wizard, and now he’s undertaken a mission to find his mother, who was cursed not long after Thaddeus was born.
He enlists the aid of his father, Nathan; his boyfriend and neighbor, Teofil Rhododendron, a garden gnome; and Teofil’s mother, brother, and sister. As they journey through a world that seems normal on the surface, they meet many magical creatures, some kind and helpful, others evil and dangerous. When Nathan suffers a life-threatening injury, Thaddeus might be forced to abandon the quest to find his mother in order to save his father.
A fun adventure story aiming at younger readers (10-14 years I’d say), about a group of family members traveling in a fantasy world.
This is part 2 of a series (there’s more coming), this does not mean one can not start with this book and skip part 1. The story is not that deep one would miss reading part 1. However keep in mind there’s an open ending.
IMHO it was a fun story, I enjoyed it but can be seen as a bit childish when given to older children.
