Bedtime stories are still a really big thing in my house, and it’s getting harder and harder to consistently find great reads that my 10-year-old son and I both enjoy. We’ve devoured all of the Harry Potter books and absolutely loved the Morrigan Crow series (from Nevermoor). So, when looking for book recommendations for fans of those magical, twist-filled adventures, we stumbled across The...
