My box with #2 and 3 will be here Monday, and I can't wait! I also ordered a used copy of Iris, Messenger, so I'll be posting reviews of that soon. Anyway, THANK YOU for recommending this one. I loved it.<BR/><BR/>Eva Ibbotson is fun! She's a pre-Potter writer :) She's been at it since the 80s. Interestingly, the magical characters tend to be adults, but they're helped out by a child. It's kind of a twist on the post-Potter fantasy formula where the child is the main character.allisonmariecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00211696859124273031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21930771.post-86911060559832072382008-01-10T09:00:00.000-06:002008-01-10T09:00:00.000-06:00I just requested The Lightning Thief at the librar...I just requested The Lightning Thief at the library.

And the other books you reviewed sound interesting too. I loved your comments about Post-Potter literature and Matt asking if we were already there. Kind of fun to think we're witnessing an evolution in kid's lit. Our kids will be part of the Post-Potter generation by the time they are readers. :-)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944204657462978748noreply@blogger.com
