If you haven't tried any of her other books yet, I definitely recommend <i>Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley and Me, Elizabeth</i> and <i>The View from Saturday</i>, both of which have also received Newbery recognition.

First read it many years ago (too many to admit), and I wanted to see if it was still as much fun as I remembered. In a way it is, but in a way, I'm also appalled by the fact that Claudia and James don't seem to miss their parents! There's also a lot of what agents/editors today would call "telling" or "backstory." But it works so well in this book. Maybe we're all too hard on ourselves today for a bit of telling.<br /><br />Your son and his friends did a fine job with the video.Joanne R.

I'm hoping I drive an editor from the airport/train station so that I might sneak my ms into said editor's suitcase...heh heh heh.Kristen Wixtedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270464973842125576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323060183493034578.post-46927478094493627892013-02-11T06:17:00.657-08:002013-02-11T06:17:00.657-08:00Who wouldn't want to read a book with a title ...Who wouldn't want to read a book with a title like that?
