This is a beautifully written book, with almost no defined rules about how magical children exist (and that perhaps is some of the beauty of it). The fantastical elements of this story seem to be all my favorites combined into one world. It is full of wonderful descriptions, hilarious dialogue and challenging thoughts. When you sit down to read this, you will have a very difficult time putting it down. I read through it in a day, unwilling to do anything else if I had any time at all to read. Also, perhaps, ignoring things I really should have been doing instead.
