I hate to say it, but this was the only Donna Jo Napoli book that I couldn't get into (and I've read at least 10 of her books). I didn't even make it half way through before I gave up on it. Perhaps it gets better once you get farther into it. I really don't know. I recommend that you check this out from your local library and page through it a bit before you spend money or credits on it. Who knows, you may like it better than I did.
