According to the back of the book, it is a funny, laugh out loud story. I only laughed once, during the scary story time. Other then that, yes the book was miraculous, it was wonderful, it contained many mysteries, but funny, not so.I really liked the fact that the book was made to look like a notebook, and I really enjoyed the polaroid pictures, they enhanced the story and made it more fun, but also more mysterious. I loved Julie, she was a really wonderful character, in her child form, or her adult form. I loved how serious she took her good guide role and how she tried so much to be friends with the 2 new kids.Nergui and Chingis were really interesting characters to read about, I was quite curious to find more about them, and when the truth was revealed it was a bit of a shock, but also something I expected, given how much they avoided things, how their home was filled with bags and suitcases, filled and ready to be picked up.What I like even more was the fact that we have parts now and parts then. The parts then are about Julie in school, and the now parts are about Julie grown-up and going to her old school and searching for Chingis.In overall, a book I would recommend to everyone. :) When Chingis and his brother, Nergui, arrive at Julie's school, she takes on the unusual role of their "good guide." Julie helps the brothers assimilate to life in Bootle, learning about their Mongolian culture along the way. Although this story reads like a true story, it is a work of fiction. The feeling of reading a true story keeps you reading to see how the brothers adapt to their new environment. I always appreciate the "extra" information that authors provide, and this book was no exception!
