I wasn't crazy about Kneebone Boy or Toymaker so thank you for saying it for me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03174328948552714376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-27491787963173180732011-01-13T23:09:19.396-05:002011-01-13T23:09:19.396-05:00Kneebone Boy charmed me initially and it felt like...Kneebone Boy charmed me initially and it felt like 'The Little White Horse' by Elizabeth Goudge, in a way. I liked how the narrator's identity is a mystery and the otherworld, mysterious, magical setting. I think the ending dropped me too abruptly, back into into reality though.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-61188912885546458452011-01-10T23:30:21.974-05:002011-01-10T23:30:21.974-05:00Belly Up sounds interesting.

I'll have to keep it in mind for when he's a little older.LitLasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003838612296045046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-11187593605503662572011-01-10T00:07:06.632-05:002011-01-10T00:07:06.632-05:00I like your "strengths" "weaknesses...I like your "strengths" "weaknesses" format! Really tells you what you need to know about a book in a hurry.<br /><br />I'm surprised to hear Maxine Getting Married is such a complicated story! The cover looks so joyful - like there's no real conflict at all, just her excitement lighting up her face.
