The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone by Audrey Burges (Review by Bruna Looby)

4 / 5 stars

Wow. What a magical and unique story!

I was super invested in Myra’s tiny mansion from chapter one.

Imagine a stunning doll house that your grandma passed to you. The past and history of this small mansion is mysterious. Who built such a beautiful thing? And when? Where did it come from?

Myra is a super introvert and lives secluded. She shares pictures of her mansion in a blog, and thousands of people look forward to her next post. They love the mansion!

Imagine Alex’s shock when he finds out about this website and realizes that the mansion is exactly like his parent’s house. Even the small details. Everything is the same! And now to the weirdest part: what happens in the minuscule mansion also happens in real life. And vice versa. How? It’s like the minuscule mansion and real-life mansion are somehow… connected?

Alex and Myra start talking to each other and together they try to find the truth behind this mysterious piece of art.

The one word that better describes this book is magical. The connection between the mansion and the minuscule mansion is so intriguing. We go back generations to find out everything about it, and I was SO curious the whole time!!!

There were some parts where the names and storylines got a little confusing since there are so many characters, but I caught up eventually and the resolution of the story did not disappoint!
