Until the Celebration (Green Sky, Book 3) 2 reviews
Zilpha Keatley Snyder
Tom Doherty Assoc Llc, 1985
A fitting finale to Snyder's great trilogy.
Until the Celebration is the third book in Zilpha Keatley Snyder's fantasy (SF?) trilogy about a world where people make their homes in huge trees (which begins with Below the Root, and continues with And All Between.) All our favorite characters are back, and as usual, Snyder's book gives us no easy answers to the difficult questions of life. A beautiful and disturbing book.

The Velvet Room 73 reviews

'The Velvet Room' brings back fond memories
It's been decades since I was a young reader at Sevilla Elementary School in Phoenix, entranced with reading as many library books as I could carry home every few days.
Usually, I only checked out each title once. One book, however, kept me coming back for more: "The Velvet Room."
Maybe it was because the heroine in the book had a secret place of her own, something as the middle child among ...

Great book
I tracked this book down on Amazon after remembering it from when I was a kid. It's a great story of the loser kid (which I really related to) transforming his life through the aid of magic and the ability to fly. Highly recommended.

Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 1997
This is such a great book! Why don't people like it?????????
This is such a great book!!!!! I really liked The Egypt Game so I read this book as soon as my school library got it in when I was in 6th grade. This book was even better then The Egypt Game! It was so exciting! The book is a lot about Toby, who IS a really cool character. The characters don't play The Gypsy Game really, but what is going on is probably much more interesting. This book starts ...

A MUST READ!!
This book is one of those books that you can't stop reading. One heck of a horror tale! A book for all ages and an interesting story to tell your friends about, even if they hate scary stories and suspense.

The Changeling
The Changeling is a very intresting book. Martha Abott goes through some tough times at Roosevelt High School. The Changeling is such a wonderful book. This book is confusing yet mind boggling. The Changeling's end is very sad. Sad enough to make you cry. ...

What a great book!
What a great book! This is a story about Cat Kinsey, a girl, about 12 or 13. Cat is the fastest runner at Brownwood School, so naturally she wants to compete in the race. Cat wants to wear slacks while running, but her father thinks it unseemly for a girl to be wearing boy's clothes. Cat is so upset that she decides not to race at all. Cat finds a grove in the woods and decides to put some of ...

Ahhh..... Memories
I originally bought this book when I was a very young girl, almost 15 years ago, from a thrift shop. It was my favorite book. I recently went on a trip down memory lane by taking a look at all my favorite childhood books. This book is just as magical now for me as it was when I was young. It's a great book.

Below the Root22 reviews

Laure Leaf, 1992
To the green wood, green wood tree.
I suspect that I'm the only one who remembers this. In the early to mid 1980s I owned a Commodore 64 computer game (yes, I am that ancient and wise) called "Below the Root". In this game you could chose to be one of four players. A small boy named Raamo, a small girl named Pomma, a tall boy named Neric, or a tall girl named Genaa. The goal was to travel under the root, so to speak, to rescue ...

The Unseen12 reviews

The Unseen
The Unseen is a perfect mixture of fantasy and real life. Many aspects of this book show how it isn't just about something make believe. Like when there are family situations of some sort. Even the fantasy part of this book has a real feel to it in my opinion. This is because the book is a message in a way saying that you are what you project, and open your eyes there is more to the world ...

a good book
The author of this book is Zilpha Keatley Snyder who is also the author of The Gypsy Game, The Unseen, and many others. The title of this book is The Egypt Game. Zilpha Keatley Snyder got her ideas from her made up Egypt Game when she was in the fifth grade, when she was teaching in Berkeley, California, and also her daughter's good ideas. The six main characters came from people who were in her ...

Incredible
I read this book when I was in grade school and it has haunted me ever since. I have been on a quest - literally - since I was 11 years old to find this book again, along with the other 2 in the trilogy - for those of you who are also still looking the other two books are: Below the Root and Until the Celebration
