Critics Review
Eliza is a relatable protagonist, and the well-developed plot offers just the right mix of fantasy and humor. Colorful illustrations appear throughout, enhancing the imaginative setting… .Sure to delight fans of magic and mischief.
—School Library Journal
McDonald again sends her protagonist on a delightful journey enlivened by delectable turns of phrase, character names, and exclamations. Wen’s well-placed, luminous illustrations are at their best depicting riotous scenes of the well-meaning but mischievous hobgoblins upending tranquil domestic scenes; readers will eagerly follow Eliza wherever her magical door takes her next.
—Kirkus Reviews
Wen’s charming illustrations adorn the short chapters of this enchanted adventure with color and whimsy as the hobgoblins cause chaos in Eliza’s room. Her quick thinking and imagination save her from trouble (with her mother) and act as a wink to readers, who know that magic exists all around.
