Fun summer read A vast assortment of characters, one crazy scene after another, lots of twists, and, at the end, redemption. It's such a fun read! Plus, it's a tribute to Lloyd Alexander. What more could you ask for?. "I loved it." according to Iris Garden. Very fun to read. I will read it again. Silly and elegant at the same time. Hated to see it end.
