The book, which is made light and cheerful with the presence of a magical umbrella and a musically inclined cat orchestra, becomes more and more whimsical with each page. It is able to maintain light-hearted and humorous elements through a finely crafted setting and strong character development.

Harper comes to face tough decisions and at times feels like she may never win but throughout the story, she learns to persevere and leans on her friends and their special talents as they help every step of the way. Short chapters and a steadily paced mystery makes this a gripping and compelling read.
