[close] I think I have read this one years ago. It is one that I borrowed from the library to find out I already had it at home. I never did read the one I borrowed from the library either. I vaguely remember parts of this book. I have picked it up many times only to put it back down. My daughter and I both received audio versions of this book for Christmas (from different people). I guess it is time to actually read it.

I first read this book as part of my library science class in college, but recently reread it with my children. It and the rest of the series have been favorites of mine since that first reading. I have learned over the years that any book carrying a Newberry sticher be it gold or silver. pick it up you will be guaranted a good read.

It has been years since reading this book. I have tried listening to the audio version read by the author and something about her voice made it difficult for me. I found this version read by Hope Davis and it was much better. Still a strange story and annoying in parts but overall I enjoyed it.
