Summary: The Things with Wings
Review: I am an adult reader of chidlren literature. I thought the book was a sleeper. Green powder, a widower father who is never around in such a small town if you sneeze your neighbor says God Bless you. Come on this book was so boring. After the first hunderd pages I wonder when something was going to happen that was interesting and not so ridiculous. In it the story just the whole adventrue seemed stupid.

Summary: Fantasy is everywhere...
Review: I read this book years ago when I was younger, but I still say it's one of the best books I've read. The ending is great, but I love the parts with Vanessa, she's such a great character. When I got this book at school, people thought the kids with wings were creepy and they still are, which is why I can't look at the cover, but's it's still great. Buy it!...or else... (Just kidding, I think...)

Summary: A Mystery
Review: I recommend girls from ages 9-12 to read this book. I liked it because it had mystery and fiction in it. I liked when the two children find the secret garden beacuse I wanted to know what it was and what was in it. It also shows that anything is possible, in this book Vanessa gets to fly which is her biggest dream. I also liked the man in that black baseball hat with the mirrored sunglasses. He was cool because I didn't know who her was. This is my favorite book and I think everyone should read it. I plan on reading it again.

Summary: A Great Read!
Review: I teach 5,6,and 7 year olds, and have read this story aloud to my class as we study butterflies. They have really enjoyed Newton and Vanessa's adventures, and wondering where the man with the black hat is going to show up next. One of the best parts of the story is the way the author described the garden and the tree covered with butterflies. They are amazed at how the two characters figured a way to get the books to the rest of their class (caterpillars). Some wish that they could turn into butterflies also, just like Vanessa. They are so excited about this story, that they could listen to me read it all day, and always ask "when are we going to read another chapter?". Thank you for writing this story so that children of all ages, and adults, can enjoy the descriptiveness and details of the adventures and friendship of two children.

Summary: A Great Fantasy Book
Review: The Things with Wings was a very imaginative book. This fantasy book was very good but not the best. It is about a class that turns into butterflies. The story is very interesting.
