Gentle subversion in kidlit clothing
+ A Enjoyable Read!
+ funny and fast-paced story evolves for middle school readers.
+ Another heartwarming Penderwick tale!
+ As with summer holidays, the book ends too quickly but will continue to be just as memorable as the years go by.

+ Very different.
+ Ever-Gail Carson Levine

+ Enjoyed it - 4 1/2 stars
I was really excited about this novel when it first came out, but the hardback was too much money. So I waited for it in paperback, and became uninterested. The more I learned about the novel the more it sounded like a rip-off of Black's Tithe. After reading it I'm so glad I did.
Ok. First off I ...
