Castle Hangnail By Ursula Vernon

Castle Hangnail

By Ursula Vernon

From Goodreads:

From the creator of Dragonbreath comes a tale of witches, minions, and one fantastic castle, just right for fans of Roald Dahl and Tom Angleberger.
When Molly shows up on Castle Hangnail's doorstep to fill the vacancy for a wicked witch, the castle's minions are understandably dubious. After all, she is twelve years old, barely five feet tall, and quite polite. (The minions are used to tall, demanding evil sorceresses with razor-sharp cheekbones.) But the castle desperately needs a master or else the Board of Magic will decommission it, leaving all the minions without the home they love. So when Molly assures them she is quite wicked indeed (So wicked! REALLY wicked!) and begins completing the tasks required by the Board of Magic for approval, everyone feels hopeful. Unfortunately, it turns out that Molly has quite a few secrets, including the biggest one of all: that she isn't who she says she is.
This quirky, richly illustrated novel is filled with humor, magic, and an unforgettable all-star cast of castle characters. 

This book caught my interest because the cover looked much younger than the book. I would expect the cover to be on a easy reader chapter book, but this book is quite lengthy at 372 pages and probably for older grades like 3rd through 5th. In case you didn't know, Ursula Vernon also wrote the Dragonbreath graphic novel series. I would be interested in hearing about this book when readers finish.
