I loved this book, and it is a great chapter book for kids just starting to read these sorts of books, and I hope it finds some wonderful readers. Janeen Brian’s stories are always fun and there is always lots of adventure within them – each type of adventure perfect for the plot, the stories, and the audience. And she also manages to capture the whimsy and wonder of imagination across genres and age groups – which is why so many of her books work so well and why I think she has done such a good job writing for a wide range of audiences. Within her books, everything comes to life in unique ways and each story is special with its own message and joy that readers will love. -https://ashleighmeikle.com.au/2023/03/08/the-fix-it-princess-by-janeen-brian/
