Newbery Honor winner SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS is now in paperback! Laura Amy Schlitz is the author of the Newbery winner Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village. She is the author of one of my favorite books, A Drowned Maiden's Hair: A Melodrama, that reads a bit like a Gothic Anne of Green Gables if an had been adopted by a trio of elderly sisters who pretend to be

First reviewed on 4/1/09, Nancy Springer's six books about Sherlock and Mycroft's MUCH younger sister are stellar on so many levels. From the Victorian underworld of London that Enola is thrust into to the mysteries she tries to solve to the character of Enola herself, a strong, brave, smart heroine if there ever was one. Each book in this series is a masterpiece. I hope that, in the wake of the

I have a dear friend who is in London right now studying Shakespeare and I had her ask her mates the names of a few classic books that most kids growing up in the UK read. Kind of like the British version of Little House on the Prairie or Charlotte's Web. Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce, published in 1957 and winner of the Carnegie Prize (the British version of the Newbery, but they

Sara Crewe, the heroine of Frances Hodgson Burnett's A Little Princess comes by her compassion, tolerance, friendliness and imagination no doubt through her own charming nature but also as a result of the nurturing of her father for the fist several years of her life. Mary Lennox and her cousin, Colin Craven, the main characters in The Secret Garden, undoubtedly Burnett's best known work, stand
I really enjoyed both the first and second of these books. I need to get the rest! I enjoyed how the author dealt with the lengths that Enola must go through to live on her own rather than (as ND) assuming much more freedom than realistically possible. I need to take a better look at the cover art too!
PLEASE let me know if you figure anything out!! I am horrible at ciphers and riddles and, although I wrote down my findings, could not make sense of them. I'm not sure if there are any hidden books 3 - 5... Glad to know Enola has another fan in the world!!
These sound fantastic. Our library had three, so I ordered those to check 'em out. Thanks!
I LOVE this series, although my library only has 4 of them, and so i've been skulking around the net trying to find an online copy somewhere. i especially loved the scenes where Enola encounters Sherlock, particularly the one in "The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline" when Enola visits Ms.Nightgale
I love it too! I am so happy that Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan just came out in paperback and Cryptic Crinoline is out in HC. Do you do the ciphers?
Great books to read for kids. My favorite is Peculiar Pink Fan. Thanks for sharing.
