4.0

A somber, but sweet story about facing grief and the magic to be found in memories and imagination. Perfectly balances its silly and sad moments, reminds me a lot of a Kate DiCamillo title with a more consistently uplifting tone. I wish Holly had a more tangible role in the story than the "dead disabled sister" but I understand for the message that the book was going for it would be difficult to work that in somewhere. Good for young readers looking for stories surrounding grief and the aftermath of losing a loved one.
