This is the type of children's fantasy that thrilled my childhood and is still enjoyable in adult reading. I actually searched for it for along time, having forgotten the title and remembering only the content. I was very happy when I found it again, and bought it for my children and grandchildren to enjoy.

A little boy who has been raised by his adored older sister must stay with unknown new relatives while she is away on a honey moon. He is alone and unhappy, in a household of adults who don't really like him much. he wonders if his life will be terrible now that his sister has married.

One magical night he finds himself in a world that consists of all the toy cities they built together as he was growing up and she played with him. And there is a crisis only he can resolve...and a strange little girl that he cannot comprehend, keeps following him around.
