Customer Reviews

I was lost in the story!

I got this book from my local library, and I wasn't exactly sure I would like it. After I had read it, it became one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES! I very much enjoyed the fact that Plumpet, the cat, could talk, and that Suzanna was made of glass. I think that the book is great also, because Anatole goes on the journey to the Island of Sychorax so his grandma can get rid of her asthma. It shows how kind some people can be.This book made me feel like I was there, and I enjoy imagining I'm there, so it was a great book. I think Nancy Willard is a great author.
