Negative Positive
Title: Nostalgic Indulgence
Review: I remember picking this book up in a public library when I was about 10 years old as one of the books listed on my summer reading list. At the time, I put off reading the book because it seemed to be just a story about a young girl's summer experience. The title ("...and TIME") should have tipped me off that something unexpected would occur. This is the book that made me into a voracious fantasy/science fiction reader. I recently bought a copy of the book to read again and while it must be admitted that the writing pales when compared to another favorite, Sabriel (also written for children/young adults), I still found myself interested in revisiting the twists and turns of the story. I would definitely recommend this book for children as it transforms a seemingly ordinary summer into a surprising adventure outside the realms of the ordinary. Worth the effort to get it.
Is the review positive or negative?
