lawn jockeys

The autor chooses to write this story from a 12 year olds perspective which takes a lot of time and practice to get it write. He takes the imagination of a young boy this age and makes it so realistic that you actually think for a minute that the talking statues could be real life. The way the author gets into the boys heads with the witty comments of the lawn jockeys and his blunt questions to the lady he mows the lawn for makes the detail of the story very captivating.
