I had high hopes for this and while it was a great idea to tell this story through the eyes's of Zelda, Felix's granddaughter, I just couldn't fall in love with her like I did the original Zelda and ten year old Felix. 
 Gleitzman did a nice job trying to merge Felix's past with his granddaughter's present. It was a valiant effort, but for some reason, it fell short emotionally. I never cared as much about this Zelda as I did the others.
