Rating: Summary: WOW! I almost thought that I could fly. Review: The Fledgling is truly amazing! I think that every book is unique in its own way, and this book is definately in my top ten favorite book list. This book is so wonderful that it makes you feel as if you could talk to geese and fly, but only while you're reading it, and that's why it's great. This book is so amazing and wonderful. My friends say that this book is ha ha funny because this girl (Georgie) talks to a goose,flies with a goose, and keeps hurting herself because she jumps of a staircase thinking she can fly. I must admit that at some points it was funny, but I like books that make you laugh. ...it's my #5 favorite book, and that's not bad. So I truly truly truly recomend this book.

Rating: Summary: Fledgling is fantastic Review: This book is so fantastic. It has all the qualities I consider appealing to non-committal fantasy readers. A young girl searching for something, a goose prince, a magic present and some characters that oppose all that the main character does. Georgie is a young girl who is a little out of the loop of day to day life, seeing as how she lives near a place called Walden pond, this is no surprise. Georgie starts believing that she can fly and actually injures herself a couple of times. Truth be told she really can with her goose prince who seems to have been drawn to Georgie. There is an awful lady who lives next door. She plants shrubbery with thorns on them to keep children out of her yard. She has seen Georgie flying and opposes this very much. This story becomes a tumult between nature and man , childhood beliefs and adulthood notions. I would highly recommend this book to any age person. In the begiining of the book there is a quote from Thoureau's Walden to bring the natural connection to this book even closer. There is more here than meets the eye.
Rating: Summary: Modern day Trumpet Of The Swans Review: This book is written beautifully, feels old fashioned in its style and is a page turner! I read it aloud to my 6 and 10 year old kids, they were enthralled! While we were sad when it ended, I am grateful she has written other books to follow on with. I wish there were more books like this in order to expose our kids to excellent children's literature without always compromising language!! A book you could give to anyone with confidence that it is a great read.
