I really enjoyed this， I adored the first one and this one was just as cute。 I really love the simple yet engaging storytelling。 Vashti Hardy is an author who I really need to read more of。A solid 4 star read。

Myself and my daughter aged 9 enjoyed the first book in this series， The Griffin Gate， and so were waiting in anticipation for the next book， The Puffin Portal。Grace is now a qualified warden and since things are very busy in the map room， she is in charge of checking out all the blue light calls （minor problems） while her mum and brother deal with the important red light calls。 There seem to be quite a lot of these however and it is not long before Grace realizes that perhaps they are connected Myself and my daughter aged 9 enjoyed the first book in this series， The Griffin Gate， and so were waiting in anticipation for the next book， The Puffin Portal。Grace is now a qualified warden and since things are very busy in the map room， she is in charge of checking out all the blue light calls （minor problems） while her mum and brother deal with the important red light calls。 There seem to be quite a lot of these however and it is not long before Grace realizes that perhaps they are connected。 With her trusty sidekick Watson， the mechanical raven， she sets out to solve a series of small thefts which lead her to the mysterious Eely Isle。My daughter says about the book…My favourite character is Watson because he can be a bit cheeky towards Grace， he is smart and is always there to help her。 I thought the new character of Tom Eely living in a ruined castle on Eely Isle was good and I quite quickly wondered where his family were。 This book is about friendship and family and the meaning behind the story （or moral） is that you don’t have to be related to people for them to be family。 Also it is about noticing people’s talents。 The only thing I found hard to believe was that the robot puffins are evil， because they are SO cute！Both of us really enjoyed this story and thanks to Barrington-Stoke for sending us a read and review copy。 We will be eagerly awaiting the third book in the series， The Raven Riddle。 。。。more

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 What an adorable sequel to The Griffin Gate！ I really enjoyed the first installment， and loved this return to the universe。 This time we see Grace trying to solve the mystery of lots of petty robberies。 I really like how big a part STEM plays in this series， the characters are obviously smart and I love that。 Also I want a pet robot puffin， ngl。 This is one of Barrington Stokes fantastic books which make books accessible f I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 What an adorable sequel to The Griffin Gate！ I really enjoyed the first installment， and loved this return to the universe。 This time we see Grace trying to solve the mystery of lots of petty robberies。 I really like how big a part STEM plays in this series， the characters are obviously smart and I love that。 Also I want a pet robot puffin， ngl。 This is one of Barrington Stokes fantastic books which make books accessible for dyslexic and reluctant readers， and I love them。 This is short， sweet， and still super engaging and with a surprising amount of plot。 I definitely recommend any of the Barrington Stoke books， but this series is particularly excellent。 It also looks like there’s a third book coming which I am excited for！ 4 stars。 。。。more
