This book gave me such a thrill of childlike wonder and whimsy. As a kid who grew up using books to escape reality, this hit really close to home. I loved how sweet and special so much of this book felt. It was heartwarming.
I found parts of the book to be super predictable, and the ending was tied up in an unrealistic, perfect bow. Given the rest of the story, I didn't mind the "perfect" ending.
Sometimes, especially on a day filled with uncertainty (finished this on Election Day), a happy ending gives me hope. Highly recommend this one!
