I read this book as a young child, and it scared the living daylights out of me. I had nightmares for weeks, but eventually I forgot that the book existed until years later when the name "Boopie Cupid" popped back into my head.

Looking back, I'd say the book had a cute premise and would probably be entertaining for older elementary school-age children, especially those who already know they like fantasy books.

Given that this book was never written for grumpy old farts like myself it probably speaks in its favour that it didn't rock my world. I've just seen a few kids into her stuff, a few awards, and thought I might as well take a peek.

Nothing wrong with it - usable basic premise, appropriate humour, kid's world view. Perhaps the plaudits it's received from adults relate to the relatively subtle (compared to a lot of, "And what did we learn today, kids," style fiction) encouragement to be nice to your siblings, with the realistic presentation of unconscious nastiness that can go on. Well paced etc. Just not for Dad's Christmas stocking (unlike some other kids' books that crossover a bit more - or don't kids like the Jungle Book any more?). Does it, however, achieve its own aims?

Dunno, ask a juvenile.

It's an excellent book for people who like reading. It's about a middle boy in a family who goes to another dimension. He has to play a game called Finders Keepers. There are three seekers and they have lost something in our world and Patrick the finder has to find what they have lost. He can win prizes and he finally gets what he wants, a computer!
