This is an absolutely wonderful read. This is by far the best novel for children I have ever read, and I strongly recommend it to anybody who enjoys reading middle-grade or young adult literature. This book isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I thought it was perfect. This book blends realism and fantasy perfectly, and it deals with mental health issues, which is something not discussed in many middle-grade. When I finished this book, I immediately read it over again, and I have reread it countless times since then. This is my personal favourite book, and it was so heartbreaking and magical. Five out of five stars.
