Description

When the Impossible Postal Express arrives to collect Suzy, she sets off on her most difficult delivery yet. A mysterious talking book is causing chaos and must be returned to a city that’s been lost for thousands of years. Book #3

Quick Summary

If your kid loves the idea of magical mail carriers delivering impossible packages, this is their next obsession. Suzy works for the Impossible Postal Express, and in this installment she's tasked with returning a chaos-causing talking book to a city that's been lost for thousands of years think ancient Library of Alexandria meets Indiana Jones. The humor is quick and silly enough to keep reluctant readers turning pages, but there's also real heart when Suzy faces her biggest challenge yet and has to figure out what she's truly willing to risk for the job. It reads fast despite being a longer book because the chapters are short and punchy, with each one ending on a "just one more" hook. Fans of the Mr. Lemoncello's Library series or kids who enjoy adventures with a dash of mystery will probably devour this one. There's nothing too scary some tense moments, but overall it's funny and warm.
