This is one of those charming, magical stories that immediately plant themselves in your heart and you read over and over no matter how old you are. I like this book quite a lot.

I really enjoyed this. I read this book in class in primary school, and it's been sitting on my shelves for a while now, demanding I finally re-read it. I really, really liked this book. I had flashbacks to re-occuring nightmares I'm sure came from this book, and the ending brought a tear to my eye. I'm not giving it a rating - I wouldn't even know how. But I had a great time reading it. I've annotated my copy and I will be giving it to Brittany to try. Maybe I'll seek out a nice hardcover to keep forever.

I read this in one sitting. I had forgotten how much I loved this book, though I could remember a vague fondness for it. It's such a great story.

Fun fact, I'm fairly sure when I was looking for last names for my character Dylan, I got Pearce from my bookshelf from this book.
