amandaquotidianbooks's review against another edition
4.0
I really liked this book, as I do all of Eva Ibbotson's work. She's one of my favorite children's authors. Her books always include important messages and subvert stereotypical assumptions. In this book, however, the messages were a bit scattered. Unlike Island of the Aunts, TGGR was trying to do too many things at once, I think. It was still a silly, spooky, enjoyable read, but not my favorite Ibbotson.
