A Turn for Great Ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is my very favorite book. Astrid is a girl who is smart and thinks for herself, and she stands up for herself and her ideas against the class bullies and the adults who want all kids to just obey them without ever thinking for themselves or knowing why. Astrid and Reeva show what education should be like: that learning is fun and important and it opens your mind to real happiness and helps you control your own life more.
Amazing detail
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The amazing detailed descriptions paint images as vivid as a tv. These details make the story hard to put down and keep the reading excitement up. I think it something even adults can relate to. And the story itself will inspire you to take a good look around you and about you.

Excellent! I found the tale strikingly familiar and accurate... With a story that pulls one in, and its charming characters ( Go Coop :) ) I'd recommend this book to most anyone interested in its type!
Very Entertaining
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Ms. Kendall paints a very captivating storyline in the first few chapters that culimnates in a thought stimulating conclusion. The book works on both an entertainment level and an intellectual level as should all great young adult books. Character development is very strong as we get a glimpse into life in the fictional town of DeWurst.This book will be enjoyed by the young and the not so young for years to come. I await this author's next effort.
