I "read" the audio book, and loved it. Leon is such a likeable character, and the story is fun. The book seemed really long to me and I was shocked halfway through when the doll Leon makes suddenly gets magical powers, but it's based enough in the real world (like the first half) that I could swallow it and still enjoy the story. Nothing against fantasy, just the first half of the book is totally mundane. The ending is also satisfying.

I really liked the first half of this book. It was totally plausible, yet creative and I really enjoyed the characters. The story took a weird turn about halfway through, which I didn't love, but we continued listening and it was still all right. We listened to this in the car and it was 5 CD's, which is a little long for my younger 2. My older 2 boys both really seemed to enjoy it though.
