"First read this in the 2nd grade (I wasn't allowed in the upper grade section but my teacher gave me permission) I was transported into a mystical world and adventure and hooked from then on. "

"My mother had this book growing up. I would pretend to read it as a child. I finally read it in middle school and it has been one of my favorites since. There's nothing like it. "

"A family friend gave this book to me in Jr high saying she had read it in her youth. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. I'm forever grateful to her and highly recommend this book to young ladies who love fantasy and magical creatures. "
