Review

This story is about a young boy that is spending the summer near a lake with his mom. Little does he know that he is part of an experiment to see if his imagination can bring book characters to life. When he realizes this, he and a friend have amazing adventures with the characters that come to life on an island in the lake. The adventures were fun and a cool idea, but it never really grabbed me. Also I thought that the parent problem was real but the solution was not which took away from the story.

Overall Book Score: good
