I’ve never even heard of this before, but it looks interesting – I’ll see if I can track down a copy.

I did like it when I read it as a kid! I should revisit it and see why. (I don’t remember the details.)

Oh, I loved this book so much. I remember reading it to my little sister, and it was even more fun to read aloud! Ellen Raskin writes such strange, endearing little books, but this is by far my favorite of hers.

This is one of those books that I read as a child and that stayed with me throughout the years. As a kid, I thought the ending was superb and left me speechless. I’ve been trying to get my nine-year-old to read it, but he doesn’t seem to be quite as drawn to it as I was. I recently re-read it as an adult and while I found it enjoyable, I didn’t have that same sense of wonder that I had as a child. Still, it is one of those I would consider a must-read for almost everyone at some point in time in their life.

You linked to mine so you already know this, but I didn’t love this one. I don’t think I’d have loved it at the “right” age either.
