I'm not going to tell what the book is about. As I was reading it, I kept getting confused with Diana and Georgie life style. It was reveal at the end Book is a fun read, a little spooky, but you just felt sad cause Diana and Georgie lives in the woods with no parents and became Friend with this girl name Lissa.
