I think the critique of Lucy’s relationship with Christopher is fair, it should have been less loving at school. I appreciate her comments of foster care and the importance of loving a child as essential.

The real, life lessons of this story were wrapped in a playful and whimsical tale whose world was a joy to step into. It is artfully and beautifully written, telling the story of a teacher trying to save a child and a writer trying to save the world. Its whimsy reminded me a little of “The House by the Cerulean Sea.”
Sometimes books -like people- find us when we need them. I’m glad this book found me.
