"...THE HAT DIARIES Discover the Portal by Nadine Haruni is a fantastic sequel to the first book, with just as much action and adventure.... This is a fun book and although it is aimed at younger readers, it's the perfect way for adults to escape real life, too.... This is an action-packed story, much like the first one, and every page brings new adventures and delights. The book ends on another cliffhanger, which I hope means there's a third book coming. A thoroughly enjoyable story, and highly recommended to any reader, no matter their age." -Readers' Favorite 5-star review

"Ryan Rigbee's Adventures are even more exciting and dangerous in Book Two of The Hat Diaries series. In this book, the second in a series of magical adventures Ryan experiences with his grandfather and then his new girlfriend, middle grade readers will be inspired by Ryan's problem-solving talents, bravery, and ability to support his friends during their hardest times...." -Stacey McMackin, Library Media Specialist (K to 12)
