A waste of time. Bland story, awful cast of characters, and way too much potty humor for what the story tried to be. Also sounds like it was written by an only child who has never seen siblings interact.

I really was not a fan of this book.

For a short story, I was surprised that I got bored. The characters were not particularly likeable and I'm not sure that the author has been around kids because the way the two child characters acted seemed a little like a caricature. I didn't care what happened to them at all, especially the main character, I wasn't invested in her story at all.

I feel like the plot wise this story had a lot of potential but how abstract it was didn't help the story. I wish the supernatural elements were either there from the beginning or not in it at all.

Overall I just wasn't the biggest fan of this book at all, and sadly it's not something I would recommend.
