A delightful sequel, has a lot of the same humor as the first, the illustrations add a lot of depth to the characters, Charles Dickens and Queen Victoria make cameo's

4.75 out of 5 stars.
I'm glad that I've finally finished this book.
I tried to get through it last Christmas, but the plight this child goes through during a good chunk of the story was just too much on top of what was already shaping up to be a miserable Christmas. I just couldn't fight through fictional sadness when real life was more depressing.
But this year, I started it earlier. Things are better and this story wound up being so much better than I remembered it being. The writing was great, the whole story was funny at the right times and emotionally mature for a children's book, and I loved the whole thing.
