Synopsis

Absolutely enthrallingPublishers Weekly All ends well with perfect emotional logic; who cares about the other sort where deep in a fast-moving and absorbing story like this one?Jill Paton Walsh. The best childrens fantasies--of which this is definitely oneoffer no insult to the intelligence of the adult reader. If you buy this for your pre-teenager and dont read it for yourself, you are missing a memorable reading experience, and a very poignant evocation of the preadolescent mind.Marion Zimmer Bradley.
