I even did a book report/presentation in seventh grade where I pretended to be Lucy: it was lots of fun-I got to have hysterics and faint. heheEvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-31869849667825872652008-04-21T15:30:00.000-05:002008-04-21T15:30:00.000-05:00Chain Reader ~ It very well could have been like t...Chain Reader ~ It very well could have been like that.

I have read this one and listened to the audio, and it's great! Very emotional end. I know a lot, if not all, of his works were published in serial form in magazines. I can't help but think that his stories were like the Harry Potter frenzy of today in terms of waiting to see what the next installment would reveal.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408471966661831444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-22871716741671791552008-04-21T07:51:00.000-05:002008-04-21T07:51:00.000-05:00Teddy Rose ~ It seems I chose wisely for my first ...Teddy Rose ~ It seems I chose wisely for my first experience with his writing.

I struggled a little with some of the language, but I loved it. This became one of my favorite books. My favorite part was the little girl at then end talking to Syndney, telling him that if her death helped her little sister, then it is worth it and she won't be afraid.Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13591336512230976977noreply@blogger.com
