There was a mix of realistic fiction and complete fantasy, as this weird event takes place at a typical town, with typical houses and typical people who practice typical things.
The only downside almost this volume was that the ending seemed a footling rushed. At that place should be more conflict when trying to rescue the mom from the spell.

A adequately tiresome book. It reads like it was written by a mother who felt unappreciated and wanted lose herself in a fantasy where her family would all realize the errors of their ways. And seeing how the actually author is a mother of iii who happens to be of Irish descent and as well a journalist- I can but presume that's exactly what this volume was.I wanted to give the book the do good of the doubt. Or at least discount information technology as merely a good read for younger audiences. But I really feel like younger kids wouldn't be interested in this either. The tone is more set for young mothers and nevertheless, the writing is so simplistic that I remember it was written for 12 twelvemonth olds. And it just wasn't very exciting. Non saying that there needed to be car chases or fight scenes only surely just a niggling deadline or possibly have Patrick effigy out his mother'southward identity and face her. Something!
There were a few bug I had likewise with just how things worked. The fairy magic was manner too convenient and out at that place. Everything else in the story is very solid and normal. We needed more magic to believe in the magic that's introduced. Otherwise it simply feels similar a behemothic Macguffin.
This might just be considering the book is dated, but I find information technology hard to believe a 12 year old wouldn't already have an electronic mail accost, or even be that excited about getting one. I mean, come on. In the historic period of instant messaging and now skype- email is really downwardly on the list of what kids intendance about.
Also, speaking as a substitute teacher, if I were to suddenly become twelve once more and have to take placement exam; I can almost guarantee I wouldn't be acing them. Especially non the science or math tests. If I were 8- sure. Only math in heart and loftier school is difficult to think if y'all enter a job field that never uses math. And fifty-fifty history tin can be daunting. If I'm already forgetting things I learned 10 years ago, I imagine a forty year old woman would certainly non be better. Particularly not if she was a C educatee the offset fourth dimension effectually.
It's extremely unbelievable that a pupil tin just enter herself into a heart schoolhouse without a social or medical records. They were sticklers about that when I was in schoolhouse. I hateful to the bespeak where students were sent home immediately if the records weren't up to engagement. I know in the story she had to sneak that by in guild to get the plot going just I had a hard time ownership it.
And love and ants on a keyboard... geez. Simply pour soda on it if you want to destroy it. And information technology's not similar it was Vicky's computer anyhow. It was a school computer hence, the honey and ants trick was probably only going to out the showtime student that tried to use it that mean solar day. Conspicuously non Victoria who has the class last flow. So to put both honey AND live ants on the keyboard was just overkill.
I'm also not sure WHY that had to happen other than she just wanted to mess with Victoria. Seemed clumsily petty to me.
Lastly, at i point Patrick needs to get on the computer to electronic mail his mom. He goes to schoolhouse to practise this when a affiliate before that, he gets on his home computer to get on the chatroom. Wait... why did he go dorsum to school, risking getting caught for having skipped, to email his mom when he could take just merely emailed her from the dwelling house computer as conspicuously his Dad isn't habitation and in that location's nothing stopping him from doing so.
I as well just didn't believe the mom. I never bought her act. She never really worried about what must have been going on with her married man and kids. She just assumed they'd get forth without her. She only put forth a real attempt to contact them when she saw Patrick's emails. Before that she was perfectly content to stay twelve. She as well bought the magic stuff too quickly. I can tell you if I woke upwardly suddenly several years younger, I'd take a freaking panic assault. Because in that location was never a moment where she flipped her shit, I only didn't buy information technology. Everything felt so fake.
Information technology's not a bad book. But's not actually a expert one either. I'd say, look elsewhere for a good read.
...moreThe author's purpose is to entertain. In this volume the message is that if you do not get information technology the first time do information technology until you do. The book's theme is mistery, fiction. The author's writing mode is fiction. 12 Agan is virtually a mom that becomes 12, her family unit does not go away she just is gone and they exercise not know where she is! She does non retrieve that there is whatsoever promise for her. Then she finds a fashion to contact her son. He so is able to help her out of the situation.

...moreThe plot development is pretty much zero. The entire middle of the book it Bernadette going to school and the library. Nix else happens! Sure mayhap she discovers a small-scale thing here and in that location, merely non enough things happen for there to be a plot.
I would non actually recommend this book, unless you really are interested. The mother is e'er sad, and doesn't really try to become back to the family. She also doesn't accept any records and tha The start and end of this book are the merely good parts.

I would not actually recommend this book, unless you really are interested. The mother is always deplorable, and doesn't really try to get back to the family. She too doesn't have any records and that is probably what makes it less believable.
If you lot are going to read this book, I wish you very well. ...more
