You ever accidentally outdo everyone and not even know it? It’s the best feeling, even if you just get to enjoy it from the sidelines. Watching Wanda alchemy… alchematize… do alchemy?

Is it hard to come up with a new way to rave about another book in a great series? Who cares? It’s Drew Hayes + a cute dog. Bring it on! I’m going to be very serious now and tell you that Roverpowered 3 is a competent story written by…
