Book Description:
Goody Hall is one of those rare publishing miracles, a book to delight readers of all ages.
- Jane Langton, The Boston Globe
This deft period tale, by the always original author of Kneeknock Rise and The Search for Delicious, centers on a birthday cake of a house proudly owned by young Willet Goody's mother, but overhung with the mystery of his father's disappearance. Gothic elements thicken when Hercules Feltwright comes to tutor the likable lad... In the marvelously evoked atmosphere of a country establishment surrounded by legends of a costumed robber, Natalie Babbitt moves precisely and lightly to a happy finale.
- Virginia Haviland, The Washington Post Book World
Another Delicious blend of style, wit, and adventure.
-Kirkus Reviews
An imaginative story for discriminating readers.
