Minnow on the Say2 reviews
Philippa Pearce
Oxford University Press, 2001
Creative and credible
+ Treasure!
Minnow on the Say is enchanting, comforting, quirky, and uncommonly beautiful. It's about children and completely for children, but its characters are as complex as any created for adults. The moment where Adam falls from the bridge will chill you and the surreal ending will delight you. Make sure ...

The Pirates in the Deep Green Sea 1 review
Eric Linklater
Jane Nissen Books, 2000
Has passed its "Best before" date
I read, and liked, it when I was young, some 50 years ago, and planned to give it to a grandchild. However, having read the first few chapters, I decided not to pass it to her. I find several cases of prejudice that today seem outdated and not suitable for young readers, or, in fact, for anybody.

Helen Fern Daringer
Green Mansion Press, 2002
It does have an old fashioned charm about it...
+ Memorable
+ Step into the life of a little girl
I read this in elementary school (I'm over 30 now) and it was a sweet story about Jane - a girl of about 11 or 12 who lives in an orphanage. During the summer, she is invited to spend time with a farm family and an older woman who lives alone. Both end up wanting to adopt Jane and she struggles ...

A Room Made of Windows3 reviews
Eleanor Cameron
Little, Brown Young Readers, 1971
Beautiful
+ For writers, young and old
+ The best book I have ever read.
"A Room Made of Windows" is told in the simple and straightforward style of a children's book, but its subject matter is subtle and complex enough to be savored by older readers as well. Eleanor Cameron paints a vivid picture of a few months in the life of a twelve-year-old girl who is dealing with ...
