Great For Kids

I remember reading this book when I was a child. My parents spent many years trying to get if for me, but as it was no longer printed I was out of luck. Now I can read it to my children, the story is as good today as it was then.

A childhood favorite

I read this book years ago when I was around 9. I instantly loved it and it has stuck in my memory for over 20 years. I recently looked it up again at the library and read it again. I fell in love with the story all over again. This is a must for my own childs library. It is a perfect book for an adventureous, animal-loving child with a strong sense of right and wrong.

A wonderful adventure!

This is a bizarre and humorous adventure! It's the story of a rebellious orphan girl sent to live with a cranky, eccentric aunt, against both their wills. In the aunt's garden live strange and rare little animals called Bogwoppits. The girl befriends one, even as her aunt is trying to exterminate them.The book is filled with moments of intense horror, hilarious humor, and unexpected plot twists. Worth reading!
