This looks like a book I would have enjoyed when I was young. I found this on the sale shelf at the library and will probably give it to my niece to read.

Sending to mlbish as a surprise RABCK - enjoy!

Thank you so much! I am delighted. I remembered reading this book as a kid, but couldn't remember the name of it or the author. Thanks to the smarties on the BookTalk forum, I was able to re-remember it. I wasn't surprised to discover that it was Zilpha Keatley Snyder, as I was (and am!) a big, big fan of her books.

If there is ever anything on my shelf that interests you, please feel free to ask!

Thank you again for the lovely surprise!
