I just read it in a quick afternoon. Here is my review:
For some reason, I thought I had read this years ago, but reading it today, most of the story was completely unfamiliar to me, so perhaps I watched a film version years ago and that's what I remember? Regardless, it's a fun children's adventure, although a bit questionable at times (such as running off without telling anyone, abandoning family, excessively angry over a date that doesn't go as planned, etc). The adventures are fun, however, and the book has a surprisingly open ending, which is a bit rare in children's stories. It allows for the imagination, which is always good for children.
3/5
