This has to be one of the most orginal stories I have read in a long time! The beging I thought was done well with the comments and converstion of the kids. The situation with the parrents very common. The set up and the trouble for it not to uncommon.
The friends I thought were very belivable. Not perfect kids but realistic with thier flaws.
Then I never saw it comming. The Fairy and companions. I wont say much more don't want to ruin it.
I am also rating this too for originality.
