Not so good, but better than nothing."Īnd about the twin thing - I bet Miri's siblings didn't always feel grateful for being special. Miri took an experimental bite of her thumbnail. Her knuckle hurt from all the chewing it had had lately. I really liked all the little details that made the characters come alive. Sure, I can see wanting a different ending, but that would be a different book. The *point* of the book was to do what Grandma May knew they would do, and set things right, make things turn out just this way. I have to say, the ending was just exactly what it was supposed to be. I'd still be careful about sharing it with sensitive children - Horst was truly scary, because he's all too realistic and not leavened with any ridiculousness or vulnerability. I agree with those who have said it nicely fills a niche for the younger readers. Reread for the Children's Books group discussion.
