4.0

The story of regular life for a family and a new neighboring family. The main character and the daughter of the new family become friends and invent a fantsay or magical land as a place only they can escape to. It's a fine children's book with an element of adventure and fantasy to it, but I didn't like the way the ending played out. One of the characters dies and forsome reason everyone is far too quick to return to normal life, almost as though they're erasing the character's existence, even by their own family.
