Most of the books in this series are good.<br /><br />I found her as a young adult, I think. I don't remember reading them as a kid.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005286623073064886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-52145279016357179482010-03-06T09:17:13.536-08:002010-03-06T09:17:13.536-08:00I LOVED this book as a child, I read it over and o...I LOVED this book as a child, I read it over and over and it was so fun to read it to my girls when they were old enough. I know there are more books in the series but I never read them. Aiken also wrote a delightful series about a little girl and her naughty crow called Arabel and Mortimer. She also wrote more YA and gothic/supernatural-type books (mostly out of print) and some Jane Austen sequels, still in print. It's too bad she's not more popular in the states.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-66614006069288781352010-03-06T08:40:17.728-08:002010-03-06T08:40:17.728-08:00I remember reading this in school.
