Excellent

This wonderful story deals with a difficult topic - a young girl with cancer who has a great imagination. It was a fun read that dealt with a terrible disease with hope. Loved it. The writing was superb. The changes from her imaginary world to this world where handled brilliantly. Thanks. I enjoyed it.

This is a lovely, heartfelt novel about life and loss. I immediately liked the main character and felt like the author did a good job presenting her and her family. The story is both sad and inspiring.
