Great book. Very unique, and I like the main character. OZ is definitely much creepier than it is in the movie, and that's a good thing - it really makes the book stand out, especially in this trend of writers rehashing old and familiar tales.

The child get to spend that time frame dreaming of knights in shining armor slaying dragons, saving queens. Or living in fairy tales and talking to animals. After the story ends, they either dream into that world, or not. It's just a bunch of stories. They are not real.   So when they grow up to be adults, that's all they think of children's stories....false. Not real, no real honor behind children's books.   Or is there? June Anderson is a successful professionally and living the dream. Only her dream doesn't quite reach into her personal life but for her she is okay with that.
