    About this audiobook

    From the author of the award-winning book A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking . . .

    Rosa Mandolini knows in her heart that her family are the greatest painters of magical illuminations in the city. But the eccentric Studio Mandolini has fallen on hard times and the future is no longer certain. While trying to help her family, Rosa discovers a strange magical box protected by a painted crow. But when she finds a way to open the box, she accidentally releases the Scarling, a vicious monster determined to destroy the Mandolini family at any cost.

    With the aid of her former best friend and a painted crow named Payne, it's up to Rosa to stop the Scarling before it unmakes the magical paintings that keep the city running, and hopefully save her family in the process!

    • 4/5
      Good not great, cute but too childish at the same time
    • 5/5
      I love everything T. Kingfisher writes, but her middle grade books have a special place in my heart.
    • 4/5
      It was good, and I loved all the painting and creating elements. It was just not as funny or engaging as Kingfisher's other books.
