he world could do with a little more kindness and positivity and random acts of singing, don’t you think?
Dear Reader, My name is Penelope, and while I may not be a real-life princess, I’ve been told I possess a certain fairy-tale heroine quality. I wield optimism as my weapon of choice, don amazing shoes and vintage hats whenever possible, and speak in musical references. All of which perfectly qualifies me to succeed in my new role as a marketing intern at the historic Darling House theater on the island of Skymar.
Only . . . it seems this internship position is going to be a LOT bigger than I thought. The Gray family, who owns the theater, has been stuck in a rut of darkness ever since the loss of their matriarchs. Now all that’s left is a dying theater, a reclusive grandfather, three siblings, and an adorable seven-year-old girl who desperately needs some pixie-dust magic.
So that’s what this story is about. My plans to save the theater! (Plans that, somehow, keep being stolen by a local competitor.) And an anonymous online theater troupe. And two single brothers who may be vying for this American girl’s heart . . . until they’re not (or maybe they just want me for my ideas too). And a dream job offer that will require me to make a truly heart-wrenching decision. I may not excel at finishing stories, but I promise to see this one through to its happily ever after.
Positively,
Penelope

My Review
Such a delightful read, one you won't be able to put down. Pepper D. Basham brought a smile to my face, along with several chuckles.
Penelope lands a dream job and turns on her magic, capturing quickly the love of a little girl, and even her dad, Grumpy Matt.
She spreads her love and faith and baked goods around and brings back to life Grandpa, and gets him excited, but life cannot run smoothly, and there is a mole doing their damage. Yes, I guessed whom the mole was but loved how the whole situation was handled!
A story that begins with a lot of texts and emails, and pulls you in, and who doesn't love Peter Pan?
Now I can't wait for the next book in this series!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
