This book sounded like a fun mysterious tale. In the end it was just a dud. It's unfortunate, this could have been a creative whimsical story. It started off with great ideas and you felt like it was really going to spark and take off. It's almost as if she limited herself or ran out of ideas. I'm really disappointed because this could have been something really, really great. She played it too safe, which made it a "bail" in my eyes.
