Title: Great story, weak ending
Review: I particularly enjoyed the first three-quarters of the book. The descriptions of Providence, both past and present, were rich and satisfying. However, the ending was both predictable and open-ended. I felt a bit cheated at the last page -- I actually kept flipping through pages, thinking I had skipped something. The predictability I can understand (and happily overlook) in a children's book, but an extra few sentences at the end would really have put my mind at rest without precluding a sequel.
