How did it get this far? I can remember starting reading this book, and thinking it was a masterpiece - and it was. But by the end, it had become such a distorted perspective on itself that it wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. This book is no exception. It even is placed in the center of the Chaos Effect - so I have to wait weeks until I can even get to the bottom of the story to find out what happens to the kids. And I won't even know then. Some of the old craziness in the book - and Geoff is saved in a silly manner - but none of the hear or soul that made the book so adorable. Oh, well.
