I loved this book. I love Ruth White's writing style, and I love it when I come up on a book that engages me as this one did. I read it in three hours and was sorry when it was over. I'm definitely going to read the sequel and her other books.Fun, quick read. I forget how much I enjoy reading juvenile fiction books; entertaining and usually have a good lesson in them, too.
What a lovely way to spend a snow dayreading a book that I should have reviewed a long time ago!

I just loved it
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep.You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep.People are going back and forth across the doorsill, where the two worlds touch.The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep. -Jalal al-Din Rumi, 13th century I really like this story because it has so much to tell you in just one book. I learned lots of things which in some way, I have all thought and felt about before but I just couldn't put them into words.
