What a holiday magical adventure! I devoured the whole thing in two days. The concept of the paradise trap was very interesting. I like the characters very much, even though they were super classic characters, a rich family and a poor single mom with a son who cannot find friends and only wants to play games, a dog and well.... a robot. Prot was super cute. But in the end how they were helped them to figure out the trap and it turned out to be very funny and entertaining because the idea of the main plot was original. I really enjoyed this middle grade story.

The premise is great--what happens when you get trapped in a dream vacation? And the execution adds some great elements. The ending is my favorite kind in most books but especially children's fantasy--not too prescriptive. Though (mild spoiler!) everyone does live happily ever after, or at least close enough.

A passionate recommendation from my eight-year-old nephew led me to this children's book with an imaginative premise, if a somewhat pedestrian execution. The characters struggle to become more than stereotype, and the plot becomes repetitive at times. But the descriptions are vivid, and the hint of a more existential dilemma - can we tell the difference between heaven and hell - gives it some edge.
