I'll look into the titles you've listed. I think I was about 14-15 before I started paying more attention to authors, like seeking books out by author rather than cover art or by title.

I think I read it about the same time you did - at age 12 or 13. I still have a copy and enjoy reading Kit's story over again. But I think the best part is that this book introduced me to the works of Elizabeth George Speare, all of which are amazing. <i>The Bronze Spear</i>, <i>Sign of the Beaver</i> and <i>Calico Captive</i> are all favorites (and amazingly well-written). Wonderful pick!Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054085285665003329.post-13701594011911331312009-08-13T10:44:47.813-07:002009-08-13T10:44:47.813-07:00Alyce: It DOES hold up, reading it as an adult.

I don't think she took the time to actually see what the book was about. I grew up in a very strict religious household, and nothing about witchcraft was acceptable to read. I find it highly ironic as an adult, considering the subject matter of the book. I still haven't read the book (not because of the subject matter, but simple for lack of time). I will have to read it some day.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.com
