Customer Reviews

Simply Wonderful!

This book is a beautiful story about change. Joanna is concerned about moving to another house until she takes a ride on a time travelling merry-go-round that gives her a glimpse of the future. It is told intelligently but clearly, mentioning subtle details without driving the point home too hard. I love this book, the story, and the way it is written. I compliment the author who could compose such a sweet and satisfying work of art.

Intriging

Although this is a children's book - it explores some issues with our society that need to be adressed. Its fun yet deep with a twist at the end.
