I FOUND IT!

For years, I have thought about this book from time to time. I vividly recalled reading a really good book, narrated by a girl living with her grandmother and involving time travel down a laundry chute. I had no idea what the title was or who the author was, so I despaired of ever finding...

Was this a good book? No, not technically, but I enjoyed it very much. Considering that it might be a bit on the dime novel side, it is quite well written. My biggest, and actually only, complaint is that it is Tolkien derived. Very Tolkien derived. It could almost be Fourth Age Middle-Earth fan fiction,...

This one reminded me of Sophie & Hans Scholl and the White Rose, and of the children’s book Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, about how Denmark’s citizens saved its country’s Jews from the Nazis....

Sonia Levitin has written excellent books. Journey to America is a classic of Jewish historical fiction. This is not excellent, by any means. It is religious, which I am not comfortable with. It is a poor story. You are never altogether sure how the two ended up with each other. There is too much back and...
