This is a very interesting book. It is apparently set in the future, but she gives no specifics of age or date. The book deals with the loss of innocent belief and fantasy story play. It also has an interesting twist that I personally did not see coming. The characters are very well written and it is a fluid yet completely engaging read. Although marketed to school children, I found this to be a wonderful book for adults - in fact, young adults and "kids" of all ages will find the point of this book to be especially meaningful. Enjoy it!!
