This book was lots of fun. It feels, and looks like it was written by a child, but reads like it was written by an adult who knows how to tell a story. Put those two things together in this is a magically wonderful read. Taking it a step further, the author made this a “choose your own adventure” type of book and it all works together incredibly well. This is one of those books that may look self-published, but a big five publisher needs to look and snatch this up.   Libraries need this in our catalogs.
