I loved hearing what your son had to say. I can see why it would be a good read for all kids ages 8 and up. As a 5th grade teacher, I look forward to reading it and hope to include it in my historical fiction unit at the end of the year.

I am doing ...This sounds like a good read Michael!<br /><br />I am doing the same thing for the WA Sasquatch Award Nominees, but I'm not sure if my son will complete the task. He is usually picky about the books he reads!

I read The Secret of Platform 13 last spring, and I have another of her books in my TBR pile but my daughter stole it to put in HER TBR pile so I can't remember the title.<br /><br />We have a blossoming actor in this house too. I think we've talked about this before--yours was Young Frankenstein--mine is going to be Belinda Cratchett this Dec. in a community performance of A Christmas Carol. (Strangely enough, her big sister got the part of Belinda's big sister-so I have two Cratchetts! If only my 7 year old son would've tried out for Tiny Tim...)Kristen Wixtedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270464973842125576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323060183493034578.post-52198818524745163602012-10-01T08:19:53.050-07:002012-10-01T08:19:53.050-07:00I think it's cool that your son wants to be an...I think it's cool that your son wants to be an actor when he grows up! What does the Don think?<br /><br />Ibbotson's non-fantasy novels are very literary and thought-provoking. Haven't read this one yet, but I was highly impressed by The Star of Kazan, which takes place in Vienna in the early part of the 20th century. <br /><br />It's so sad that she's no longer with us.Joanne R.
