Hey, gang.
This book, my first, had decent sales during the season, and quite a few outside the season, but I wouldn't mind a little critique if you have any suggestions.
Reviews have been very positive (even those from strangers!) but this upcoming season I'd like to see if I can get some more traction with this story.

The cover is my own work (I'm an illustrator). The semi-Art Nouveau is intentional as are the elements, which appear in the course of the novel. I wanted spooky but fun, since the book is rather family friendly and not a horror novel.
I can't help but wonder if the blurb works. Granted, all blurbs can probably use more punch, but is this one weak or off-putting somehow?
I guess I'm trying to determine if discoverability is my issue, or if there is a glaring flaw in my presentation.
Just a side note - I haven't got an Authors Page yet, and I'm working on getting my website ready in the next month or so.
I look forward to reading your opinions, and thanks in advance for taking the time to consider this.
