I've loved this book for forty years.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I was about ten when I first read this book. The mysterious witch girl, the slightly spoiled blind girl, the down-to-earth boy, all feel like old friends. Is it an adventure story? A crime mystery? A prose poem? A story about overcoming the difficulties of blindness, of social ostracization? It's all of those, and a story that will blow through you like the wind off the sea for a lifetime.
One of Bawden's best!

This was one of Nina Bawden's best books. Although I note above that the reading level is 9-12, I read it as a young adult and was tremendously touched by Perdita. Now, many years later, I can almost recall the "seeing through walls" chant.
A book for anyone that likes adventure.
