Summary: Kind of Old Fasioned...
Review: They said you had to be ages 4-8 to enjoy this book. In some ways I disagree. It is so old and involves such a different culture that really, a ten year old would find it "topping". This is the first in a series of many and it starts out pretty slow. My suggestion is too skim the first few pages unless you are completely interested in taking a tour of certain parts of Europe. Pretty soon, the story picks up and you can't help but love Joey though there really aren't any main characters. Some interesting and somewhat unpredictible things happen that are totally irrevolent. The main idea of the story is that this English girl decides to start a school in the Tiernees Mountains. Slowly the school poputlation grows and the usual amount of unusual accurences accur. It's a pretty good read, even if you are older than eight!
