The Private Worlds of Julia Redfern

This book, one of the last written by Eleanor Cameron before her death, is arguably her best. She's an extremely talented writer infusing her books with a wonderful reality and subtlety that make them hard to forget. While her Mushroom Planet books are the most acclaimed, her Julia Redfern series, especially A Room Made of Windows and The Private Worlds of Julia Redfern are examples of her strongest writing. She has been compared to Virginia Woolf stylistically, but is, in my opion, a much clearer writer. An especially wonderful book for any aspiring writers.
