I feel so fortunate to have been able to write about Zilpha Keatley Snyder this week - the books meant something to me, and I still feel their echo. I'm glad that you wrote about this one, because I doubt I would have picked it up on my own (oh, another story about the alcoholic mother, etc.), and now I will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-76593458852954384072007-08-28T15:55:00.000-07:002007-08-28T15:55:00.000-07:00I love this book & was so happy to see you review ...I love this book & was so happy to see you review it.

Thankfully, I loved the book and could put aside my envy about the prize because it was a deserving winner! I did think the ending was a bit fast and tidy, but the book's attributes (and the really moving journey of Alisa) more than made up for that. I, too, have always wondered what happened to Quarles. I'd assumed there would be more YA novels coming from her.Sara Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11759783678042291757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-82892545094292899592007-08-28T08:52:00.000-07:002007-08-28T08:52:00.000-07:00That does sound great.
