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.
