4.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written story, April 13 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Court of the Stone Children (School & Library Binding)

This book is one I return to every year or two, and I'm always enchanted by Eleanor Cameron's artistic, finely-tuned prose. The story is well thought out and told with sensitivity and depth. It is definitely one of the most treasured books in my collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Reader's Refuge, Feb 1 2004

By	Elaine "Bookish in California" (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Court of the Stone Children (School & Library Binding)

My son brought this book home from the school library and while he enjoyed it, I was completely hooked. As I kid I loved books that gave me places to wander around and get lost in--The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwiler comes to mind. This museum is much smaller, but gives readers a glimpse into what running a museum is like, and the magical atmosphere that can be created amid all the bits and pieces of the past. In this case, the "magic" is more than atmospheric, and the characters are an eclectic mix. After the book went back to the library, I ordered a copy for myself.

1.0 out of 5 stars YUCK!, Aug 17 2002

By	"zelly4ny" (Maycomb, Alabama) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Court Of The Stone Children (Paperback)

WARNING: This book looks good. It has an interesting plot. Do not be fooled by its 4.5 star rating on Amazon.com. Side effects may include nausea, boredom, and downright depression for wasting time.

This book is very slow, boring and has terrible writing! I mean, there's this one part that is something like: "The deserted place was empty." COME ON!!!
Do not read this book!
