My Review:
I absolutely LOVE this book.  I wish I had it in print!  This story is well-written, captured my imagination and is full of adventure, danger, magic and friendship.  I highly recommend this to middle grade readers who love adventure and mystery that keeps the reader guessing til the very end.  With intriguing twists and turns this story of friendship, determination and personal growth will capture the imagination of even the most skeptical reader. 
The characters are well-developed. The strained relationship between Sarah and her mother is realistic, and explains the reasons for her constant fantasizing well.  Her desire to escape leads to her ultimate adventure and her learning some valuable lessons along the way.  The emotional roller coaster that Sarah and her new-found friends experience kept my interest from start to finish. I can't wait to see what the author comes up with next.  Hopefully there will be another adventure in Greystone Valley for Sarah real soon.

Right now, Greystone Valley is only $.99 on Amazon.com!
