I thought it was cool that there is a real fountain that you can visit.

This book was a great book to read for our 5 year old. She was confident with the words on each page!

Very interesting book. The main girl character is funny and brave.

I think owls are really pretty and I loved reading about the barn owl

Well-written, fiction, dark tale.

Swyler's writing surpasses her first book. This is a beautiful story, well told, poignant. The main protagonist is an eleven year old girl, Nedda, smart and ambitious. She desires to reach the stars. It is also a story of love, loss, and discovery. It's classified as fiction, yet the story opens in space on board a module traveling to a new planet. The science--chemistry and physics--are not overwhelming and are important to the story. This is a book I would read again.

I liked that there were blood thirsty giants

A commentary on impacts of global warming. Appropriate for 1990's. Seems outdated in 2022.

Guineas are her favorite

We loved all the different animals
