The Strangeworlds Travel Agency - L.D. Lapinski 

Flick's family move from a big city into a tiny village "In Little Wyverns, a shed had once fallen down in a night of strong winds. People were still talking about it." While exploring she stumbles into the most run down shop, the Strangeworlds Travel Agency, and here her life and her view of the world changes forever. This is a Travel Agency, but with a huge difference, not only do you travel by suitcase but you can go to completely different worlds! It seems Flick has arrived just in time, Jonathan has been holding up the Society on his own and strange things have been happening for some time. With Flick's help, maybe they can save the Strangeworlds Society.

I really loved the expressive language. The description of going through the suitcase, stepping down and up at the same time, into and out of, I imagine it really captures the feelings they get as they travel. And I could completely feel Flick's wanting and yearning for exploration and for being part of something magical. The characters are wonderful, Flick and I have lots in common, loving numbers and being mathematically minded, while Jonathan has to be the oldest 18 year old I've ever heard of! 

"He made a pot of tea and brought it out on a tray with some cups and an actual milk jug, like he was someone's grandma."

The whole book really is full of magic. Imagine being able to instantly travel to another place, that bouncy world is definitely one that's going on my fictional bucket list. I loved the cover too, it definitely gives a good flavour of what's to come.

After an exciting adventure, make Jonathan a pot of Mexican Tea, it will calm both your nerves much quicker than Earl Grey! In a glass, pour a shot of tequila, 1/2 shot of sugar syrup and top with hot breakfast tea. Stir and garnish with a slice of lime.
