Finally found this wonderful book again!

In 5th grade, the Scholastic Book Mobile came to my school where I read The Velvet Room. Although we couldn't afford many luxuries, my parents allowed me to buy this book so I could read it again (and again) which I did! I remember being so thrilled to find in Robin, a girl who could have been me and how I enjoyed finding the velvet room with her. Although I lost the book during a move in 7th grade, I always remembered it and wished to read it again. But, as 44 years have passed, I couldn't remember the name. Then, after searching for the Pink Room or the Pink Tower or other dead ends, the name of the book suddendly popped into my mind like a miracle! I can't wait to join Robin again. This is a great book for readers of all ages who remember being young and alone and needing to find a secret place.

Execllent book for all ages and men and women

I am 45 years old and read this book when I was in the fifth grade. I have never forgotten it and look forward to sharing it with my nieces and nephews. It is an amazing journey through a young ladies eyes at a point in time when the world seemed bleak.
It is a lesson in imagination which the youth of today do not seem to employ as much. It is heartwarming and a real literary treasure.

Can't wait to read it again 38 years later!

After years of thinking about this book, read lovingly so many times I lost count, I finally decided to look for it online. My first attempt was a success, and I can hardly wait to dig into it again. Like most of the reviewers on this site, I read the book when I was in the 5th or 6th grade and it made an indelible impression. I also read Shadow Castle over and over, and I'm delighted to see that it, too, is available (I'm getting it at the same time). The Velvet Room, however, was so...grounded and based in reality, it is by far the better of the two. Books as time machines...nothing better!

a secret room

I remember reading this book when I was 13 and going through a very difficult emotional time. This book took me away from it all and helped calm me and face my life. I look forward to getting a new copy and reading it to my daughter.
