Tess and her brother, Max, are sent for the summer to their aunt's sleepy village in the English countryside, where excitement is as rare as a good wifi signal.

In the tradition of Edward Eager and E.L. Konigsburg, a novel about the excitement--and the dangers--of wishing. Tess and her brother, Max, are sent for the summer to their aunt's sleepy village in the English countryside, where excitement is as rare as a good wifi signal. So when Tess stumbles upon an old brass key that unlocks an ornately carved gate, attached to a strangely invisible wall, she jumps at the chance for adventure. And the world beyond the gate doesn't disappoint. She finds rose gardens, a maze made of hedges, and a boy named William who is just as lonely as she is. But at William's castle, strange things begin to happen. Carnival games are paid for in wishes, dreams seem to come alive, and then there's William's eerie warning: Beware of the hawthorn trees. A warning that chills Tess to the bone. In a magical, fantasy world that blurs the line between reality and imagination, readers are left to wonder exactly what they'd wish for if wishes could come true. Perfect for fans of Half Magic and The Secret Garden--and for anyone who's ever wondered if magic is real. For the further adventures of Tess and Max, be sure to check out Amy Ephron's Carnival Magic Praise for The Castle in the Mist "Bursting with imagination and warmth, Amy Ephron's first novel for young people is a magical book in all ways."--Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s"This beautiful story's quiet, peaceful tone nicely evokes both the serenity of country life and the haunting magic of the castle, and the emotional heft of Tess and Max's separation from their parents, as well as their strong bond, keeps the tale firmly grounded in reality. Perfect for middle-graders who love classic fantasy."--Booklist "Rich description of the castle along with an elaborate map at the book's beginning and an illustration at the end enhance the fantasy world....A sequel is suggested; beguiled readers will hope it happens."--Kirkus Reviews "There are scenes...that are transcendent in their beautiful, ethereal descriptions in this] uplifting novel about family and connection."--BCCB
"A slightly darker, updated take on magical realism classics such as Edward Eager's Half Magic and E. Nesbit's The Enchanted Castle."--School Library Journal "A near-perfect 9....This book defies gravity because it's hard to put down "--Time for Kids, kid reporter

Happy to have a stainless steel one
I'm a female and I tried a few others, but this one seems to be more comfortable in my mouth. I would've given it five stars, but I wish it had one side, a little bit rougher than the other side. I'm spoiled with the one I had which was plastic, but it was perfect. Otherwise one was a milder scraping than the other side, and I seem to like the more aggressive scraping. People who have never used a tongue scraper will be just fine with this and I'm going to stay with this one. Just have to do it more times.

Well-Designed and Effective
This tongue scraper is high quality and feels well-made. The stainless steel construction is solid and doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. It has good weight to it and seems built to last with regular use.
It's easy to use right from the first time. The process is straightforward - you just hold the handles and gently scrape your tongue from back to front. No complicated technique needed, and it does what it's supposed to do effectively.
The two handles are really well designed, which makes it easy to control. Having a handle on each side gives you a comfortable grip and better leverage than single-handle scrapers. The dual-handle design lets you apply even pressure and maneuver it smoothly without awkward angles or slipping.
This works for both adults and kids with no issues. My teenager uses it without problems, and the ergonomic design fits different hand sizes comfortably. It's versatile enough for the whole family.
One thing I'm uncertain about is the rust-resistance longevity. It says it's rust-proof, but only time will tell how it holds up with daily use and exposure to water. So far it looks fine with no signs of rust, but I'll have to see if that continues months down the line. Another good thing is the edges are not sharp and you won't cut your tongue even if you apply some extra pressure.
The compact size makes it portable. I can easily pack it for travel or keep it in my bag for freshening up during the day. It doesn't take up much space.
For the price, this is recommended. You're getting a functional, well-designed tool that improves oral hygiene and gives you value for money. The dual-handle feature alone makes it worth it compared to basic scrapers. It's a simple addition to your routine that makes a noticeable difference.
