I really love the way this book approached being a child. It's confusing and empowering and you get annoyed a lot at all these things adults seem to want to keep from you, while being able to sense sometimes that the rationale behind it may not be totally sensible. I liked how realistic Jane's feelings were regarding Plato, how she could really enjoy his company and yet get really frustrated at times when he was behaving in 'childish' ways.
This felt like something that might have happened to me, honestly, if I found out I'd had a secret brother and sister and I lived with my two aunts. The sense of doing something on your own for the first time, of being aware to some degree that your fantasies are probably not accurate but being unable to let them go -it was all described pretty perfectly.
