I won a copy of this book from Goodreads. Hurray! This story reminds me of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, in a different setting. Siblings go to a different realm -- full of fantastic, talking creatures, both good and evil -- and meet someone who could be a type of Christ. But the setting is quite different -- more like a crazy, colorful dream. And I liked the reason for why the siblings end up in the realm. My only problem with this book is that it could use more editing. It isn't very smooth reading at times, especially in the dialogue, so I would recommend adding more commas and apostrophes in future editions.
