I love that book so much!! I totally forgot about it until now and just looking at the cover brings back SO many smells and sounds from the 12th east house and how it made me feel when I looked at the pictures:)) By the way, did you happen to remember the name of my Griffin in the 12th east house???
a murder of crows!
