I remember this one from when I was a kid. It's still a fun little read.

This is one of my all time favorite books. I read it for the 1st time back in 7th grade and reread it again once every couple of years. An excellent novel about a young girl in a non-traditional role.

When I was about 12 or 13 years old I read this book. Before this book, I had read all other required material but was not a passionate or avid reader. After this book I have a passion for reading and literature that is very strong. I love the adventure and the imaginative dreams that follow such an adventure. There are so many books that my mind is open up to now, and I really cannot imagine the idea of not loving to read.

If you have a pre-teen girl, that does not like to read currently... I strongly suggest you get her this book. It opened millions of doors for me, and I just really hope it would for her as well.

This book is about a heroine of outstanding strength and moral character. She teaches and shows that you are capable if you try.
