The cover caught my eye too, along with the title!
I will get this one. Thanks for featuring this book and the author as I was not familiar with her!
Deb, I wasn't familiar with her either, until I found this book! I'll have to look for some of the others.
Sounds interesting. I can relate to a girl escaping into books. And the title is very intriguing. Thanks for sharing this.
When I was a kid, books were my escape too!
Even though this one seems a little young for my middle school students, I have it on my list to read. Maud Hart Lovelace is one of my all time faves, and I'll read any book that is mentioned in the same breath!
I did find it a little young, but it would be especially good for kids whose first language is not English. Nice direct writing style.
I adored this book! And not just for the character, but for all those wonderful mentions of great children's books. Like you, I wasn't familiar with the author before this. I should definitely read something else by her.
I need to get my hands on this books. I love how it sounds.
