Looks excellent...ordered it right away! Thanks.
I thought this might be a good one for your family! It is different from the Penderwicks, but there are similarities as well. While Jeffrey's mother is not really given the chance to redeem herself in the Penderwicks, Precious has a very nice turn of temperament by the end of the book. I am curious to know if your library has it!
Yes, they did have it. It's 10 years old already...I've been meaning to thank you for not focusing solely on books that are so new that only advanced copies are floating around.

I guess it's why we all love a good series...a chance to live in those stories a bit longer. <BR/><BR/>So cool that you love your work. Not everyone says that!
Oh, I wish it had been longer somehow! It's definitely complete as a story, but it was over too soon. I enjoyed finding out what the secret letters really were and seeing his grandmother become more human.
I agree. Not sure what or how I would have made it longer, though...
