 I really enjoyed this whimsical little book.  It feels like a mix of Narnia, Wizard of Oz, Jumanji (and funnily enough, a little like Winnie the Pooh).  It was a fun adventure, made even more fun with the narrator of the audio book, he had the perfect child like wonder for this story. 

I do like the sibling relationship and how one is desperate to grow up and fit in and one is trying to cling to childhood and not liking change.  But I feel like the dynamic between the siblings is more older/younger siblings than twins, especially since Arthur does rely on Rose a lot.
