Like the Charlie Bone series, this series is delightful. A challenging concept...poverty, abuse and trials of childhood, presented in a thought provoking manner full of fantasy and imagination. You come away with a more humanitarian outlook and if you are lucky you gain the gift of being able to deal with reality when it is not as you would like...the human mind and imagination are great tools, and this novel shows them used to their fullest. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Middleschool to adult
