This book is about a little girl who lives in an apartment building with her dad. Her mom and brother are both dead and she is very lonely. She goes to a school near her apatment. When she is in school she thinks she can talk to her brother and her mom in heaven. So, she talks out loud to them, and her teacher thinks that she is crazy and needs medicine. She has an amazing imagination and dreams about going on adventures and playing with someone who is already dead. This book is not the best book I have ever read. I think it is a little too unbelievable.

I recommend this book to people who like to read fiction and adventure books.
