Such a good book! I used it as my shower read so my copy is water damaged I hope Sylvie doesn’t mind. This was everything the Neverending Story wasn’t. It was the perfect length while still having a cool premise that could extend into other books if interested. I recommend to anyone and everyone especially those who have always wanted to interact with their factories fictional characters. 

The blend of fiction and reality was awesome and while I probably won’t be reading the rest of the series Roderick Townley did an excellent job. 

It is also a great book to read to get out of a reading slump with its quick pace. It is heavily character driven and the characters are lovable. I often find main characters to be a bit annoying, but Sylvie wasn’t at all!
