it's anice book. forced to read it as well three years ago. the only
striking thing i remeber was that when the girl who dies moves in the
neighborhood, she doesn't like watching television. she said she came
from a rich family but no tv. and this poor little redneck watches
the tube almost all the time. she just teaches him how to use his
imagination. one real good thing about it is that it makes a frequent
reference of the chronicles of narnia in the book, so kids may want
to read those too. cya~ randy
