This book made me feel as if my glasses were on upside down. My son and I could not follow this story, and ended up re-reading sentences 2 and 3 times to try to figure out what the heck she was talking about. Finally, we just gave up and went for ice cream.

I get that this is a children's book. I am so desperate for Kimmel to write more that I finally picked this one up. I expected it to be quirky and charming, and it is in some ways. However, the tone she strikes just does not really work. The character is both too young and too wise for his supposed age: not believable at all. This felt like it was trying to be a smarter and more poignant Junie B., but instead it just kind of goes nowhere.

I LOVED it! It was SO filled with IMAGINATION that I ENJOYED it very MUCH. (If that sentence annoys you, this book may not be for you) At first it was annoying, but I got caught up in the mystery around the disappearance of Kaline's father and the slowly but surely destruction of the house that was once lines and spotless. Amazing.
