I know adults or 'normal' teens, even, would not be very interested in this book, even if it does have pretty, full-page pictures. It was definitely a fun read, though, and I found myself smiling as Geronimo passed through the Emerald door to the land of the pixies. It has a classic fantasy plot, interesting characters, and pretty pictures. What else does a book need?
The poor writer of this book doesn't get any credit, the 'mouse' does. It doesn't have the most extensive vocabulary and it' s written to you like you're a child, but hey, that is the target audience. My eight-year-old sister is begging to read it next.
If you're a kid--definite must-read. If you're a teen, go ahead and try it: release your inner child. If you're an adult, you can read it...just not in public.

Hello, Izzy! Welcome back to Mrs. BG-- We've missed your posts.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun read to me-- and I wouldn't care who saw me reading it! ;O)
Thanks, so glad to be back. I have another post coming your way, very soon.x

ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! I was just browsing the "Intermediate Readers" aisle of the YA section in my favourite big bookstore, and I saw this very book and thought to myself, "I wonder how many strange looks I'd get if I read it in public!" LOL!
But I honestly don't think I'd mind. =) It's not something I'd buy for myself, sure, but I'm weird enough as it is, so reading it in public--assuming someone gifted me with a copy or I was able to borrow one--won't be a huge risk for me!
Welcome Stacie. I'd love to go to Nova Scotia some day. Sounds so exotic!
