  It's been an interesting book to since the first day that I started to read it, I just love it so much. The genre of this book is quite unique that talks about imaginary friends, which is an unreal but common existing, especially to special groups of people like young children.The main characters in the book are exactly two kids - Kellyanne and Ashmol.
  Ashmol is the older brother, and my favorite character. The author used a special way to show Ashmol's view - first person narrating. It's a better way to narrate because third person narrating can't put readers in a vivid situation like that.I love to get into the plot and I even feel upset or happy for the characters.For example, when the father was caught and others thought he was a thief, I feel really angry and feel so sorry for him. And another example, when Kellyanne got sick, I almost feel like the whole story is over because she is such an important character.
  The author is from Australia so he puts a lot of Australian culture in the article such as slang like fruit loop. It's sometimes hard to understand them but they are still interesting and make us understand Australia better. However, he doesn't over use the Australian tone, so that most of the readers can actually understand it.
  The detailed descriptions on characters' language and body movements had became the highlight of the whole article. For instance, a quote from page 7: “My dad pulled a face. ‘Who? Pobby and Dingan? Ha!" He drained his beer can, positioned it standing up on the floor and stamped on it until it was a disc of metal. Then he threw a wink as if to say: 'Here comes the next wave of the attack, Ashmol!'
