I loved the style of this book, the illustrations at the start of each window (not chapter!) really match the feel of the book. I'm not the target audience of this book, but even as an adult, there are messages that you can take away. It covers a lot of themes that kids and young adults may be dealing with, including friendship, bullying, facing your fears and understanding yourself, which to be honest some older adults may be dealing with too! It offered great tips but didn't come across as preachy. The out of body experience and presences that Leah kept referring to sounded a bit far-fetched to me, but maybe that's just because I haven't had an experience like that. The characters were likeable and real, and I loved seeing them develop and learn to understand and respect each other, even if at first they didn't get along. It's unusual to have a book with glossy white pages which actually made the book rather heavy to read in bed, but it worked with the illustrations and occasional different fonts.
