This is (and reads) like a children’s fairytale and I loved that! Probably because I love Mary Stewart. It is slightly “dated”, and for some reason I was convinced it was written in the 60s (it’s 80s) but that never seems to bother me while reading fiction.

This was a cute, easy read. Something that I think a fourth or fifth grader would really enjoy. If you want a quick read that you can finish in an hour or two this would be it! =D

This is the first novel I ever read.
In 2006, our English teacher suggested that we should learn English by reading, uh, pocketbooks.
Good thing a classmate lend me this.
I tried to find the title of this book since I joined Goodreads in college a decade ago.
I'll read this again to my (future) kids.
I think I finished this in 3-5 days.
I wasn't into reading novels back then, but I loved this one.
