The pictures in the book are cute. The story itself was ... boring to me. I could not finish it. I thought the whole book is very negative. This is boring, that is boring... The word "boring" has never been used so much in a book before. The concept is good. The idea behind the book is a good one. However, I do not think it was thought out well. First of all, a world is never boring to a child that has a rich imagination. These are completely opposite things. Yes, you can argue that she's bored and that's when imagination kicks in, but I say, when you're imaginative, you are NEVER bored. This book would have been better if it were actually two different books. One would be about the character always looking for adventures and finally realizing that getting out in the world will bring these adventures. And the other one would be about a character that likes to imagine funny things and has their imagination running wild. Combining boredom with imagination did not pay off here. I see the book has already 5 5-star reviews, but them being within a day of each other makes me think they are all from friends of the author. Overall, my advice to the author is to avoid negativism in books geared to children.
