Different (imo better) cover. I loved this author when I was a child, and upon re-reading her work still do. So does my 11 yr old son. Mystery, imagination, humor, coming-of-age, friendship, generational conflict, perspectives on society, on alternative family structure, all wrapped up in a good story.
This looks cute. I'll read, then pass along to Darsbooks
There are several layers to this book, which kept it interesting. The author explores children's imaginations, friendships, growing-up, alongside some harsher and scarier realities that plague children. The primary focus on this novel is the nature of friendship and imagination making this novel an entertaining and easy read.
Thanks for sharing this, Cherylllr!
I'll check with Darsbooks to see if she still wants to read this.
