A fairytale this side of the fairytale lands. What happens when the worlds are cut-off, but the stories  - and maybe some of the people - are in our world? 
I would have loved to see more of the family healing, but this is told from a young perspective. And, as family, focused as she may be, the world still revolves around her. 
Told in the tone of Narnia and The Secret Garden, but only touched on multiple concepts without fully developing them.
