This book was written in an elegant balance of being for children, but touching an adult heart too. Although anthropomorphism is frowned on in my professional life,in my fiction-loving free time it is allowed! This author does it in a subtle and genuine way. My oldest two children have read this book and I will be reading it to the youngest when she is a bit older. A very sweet story.

An engaging writing technique of alternating chapters in alternating universes bases on a minor yes-or-no decision. Your standard chic lit but that twist made it more memorable. Perfect end of summer reading. I'd read her next book.
