This book should get 5 stars just for having kids smart enough to go to the library to sort out their quest...but I would have given 5 stars anyway because it is GREAT. I'm not sure how the target audience is going to respond, but I read this in awe. It's a love song to imaginative kids who spend their days creating fantasy worlds (like me!), who march to their own drummer, and the parents who don't understand them. It's a quest before the story has to end (rotten maturity!) I'm a little worried that the blurbs on the cover are going to scare off readers who do not like scary stuff. This story is not really scary. It's not nightmare inducing. There is a little bit of spookiness. Highly, highly recommended.
