I first read this book back in the early 70's. I loved it the first time I read it, and made it an annual read for the next several years. Robb White does a great job of getting into the characters's heads and weaves a story that keeps the reader from wanting to put the book down. I'm thrilled to see the book back in print!

Good evening. The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best - and therefore never scrutinize or question. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Caduet description.

I read the orignial of this book in the 1950s and spoke of it so often--and so fondly--that my son bought me a half-century-old paperback copy several years ago.

Unlike modern stories, it is not about mystical characters with magical powers. Instead, the characters are so vivid and realistic that you experience their every emotion; their pain, their excitement, their fear and determination.

Penny and her brother, Nick, are quite admirable figures. You will love them both. Ben, the older boy, is also loyal to his father, resourceful and brave. They are each thoroughly decent and filed with youthful excitement.

I've read the story to young boys and girls and have never been met with anything but rapt excitment and fascination. The book is simply wonderful. It is a story they will recall fondly for a lifetime.

If you have children, read it to them now, and a half-century from today, your children's own children may be searching for an old yellowed copy to give them--one from the early years of the 21st century.

I do hope the new edition has retained the exact spirit of the old.
