What a lovely novel this turned out to be. While this was not as magic filled as I would have first suspected, it was simply a joy to read. I can see how this would make a wonderful gift for a child ten or above. The girl in this story does not have the kind of life she wishes she did. She is surrounded by those who do, but when she is offered a chance to see what that life would be like, will it still be everything she hoped for?This is the kind of book that will teach your child or grandchild a nice lesson about appreciation without ever coming a cross as preachy or boring. I found it easy to identify with the main character and I thought the author did a magnificent job of breathing life into her and giving her an appropriate range of emotions. I would certainly recommend this book. It was a lot of fun to read.
