I loved this book from the start with the wonderful images of little eight year old Nick, trying to sleep and being transported to the wishing place by little Val, who had wished for something really special. There begins a friendship that lasts through thick and thin even though they can never see each other when awake.The book just works well for me. Well written characters, that we see grow up, family life we see changeing, Val s family are dreadful. But she gets a little brother, and I have to say, Tommy is my favourite character in the book. His antics when he was tiny had me laughing so much, his roars of anger, and boy, that cake!As Val and Nick grow they fall in love but know their time isn't for years. But that doesn't matter. I loved how well all the different relationships were written, the writing itself was brilliant. Not everything was happy, a lot wasn't, but there was love and hope. I'd recommend this book, if you are looking for a romance with something just a bit more added to make it original, this is perfect.
