This isn't really what i had in mind when I start this book. I always start reading book kind of blind. If a cover, the tittle, or a small part of the resume get my attention, then I stop there and start reading, don,t want to be spoil or anything. Sometimes this make good surprise, sometime a bit less. This book is good. It is well written, I love the fact that the author place big word in t and explain them so I contribute to building vocabulary for young reader. The kids are likeable and it has a touch of humor that is well place and working good. But, don't know why, I expected something more fantastical, maybe even some magic or something. Which isn't really the case. We find ourself in a «realistic» family drama and it just wasn't what I wanted to read. I like reading it but I won't continue the adventure, for personal preference.
