I'm still new to Margaret Mahy and this was a present from the guys at work. One of her more famous stories I believe. It's a nice warm story about the nature of stories and imagination and where the line between them and reality can blur, especially in the mind of a child.

4.5 stars. R.L. Stine is one of my favourite writers, and so when I heard about this book I just knew I had to have it.

The book isn't written by R.L. Stine, but by a ghostwriter/a friend of his. On the one hand I wasn't entirely happy about it when I found out, but as I started reading I didn't mind it...
