Bought this book for my 9 year old daughter,and wound up reading it for myself. I really enjoyed it, and think it would be great for a teenager.

Instead, Hale weaves an intricate, multilayered story about families, relationships, education, and the place we call home."

I loved this book. It was very entertaining, with a sweet, strong heroine that is impossible to dislike. Shannon Hale is a skilled artist. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good story. Wonderful!

I had read this book previously. I am always on the lookout for good books to share with grandhildren and thought this was excellent. I will share with oldest granddaughter this summer as she comes to visit. I would rate it a 4star book.
