I liked the things the little girl did with her daddy.

Very informative, interesting read! Krull gives the reader interesting tidbits of information about one of our greatest president's wonderful sense of humor. We did not prefer the illustration style, but the content more than made up for that.

An excellent ending to the Belmont Mansion trilogy. Musical readers will especially enjoy this Reconstruction-era story of Rebekah Carrington, a young musician just returning from extensive training in Vienna. Rebekah sadly finds that she must hide the light of her talent under a bushel, due to her status as a female. However, she continues her work as a music tutor, eventually landing a position as the capable assistant to the conductor of the fledgling Nashville Symphony, Tate Whitcomb. They each learn to embrace their respective heritages as the keys to their success, and soon become a celebrated team. However, with Tate learning that he is losing his hearing, and Rebekah on the run from her predatory step-father, they find their faith seriously challenged. The story emerges with a happy ending, in which both Rebekah and Tate learn to trust God with their future, and each other with their hearts. The end result is sweetly satisfying (if a bit rushed at the end), with a golden vein of faith throughout.

I love the rainbow fairies!

To my regret, sixteen years ago in Ms. McCullough's 10th grade English class, I cheated on my book report and didn't actually read this book as intended by the assignment. Instead, I read the SparkNotes version. My twisted moral reason being that this lie was better than reading a book with "witchcraft and magic." Such material was prohibited in my upbringing. Years later, I saw the film as an adult along with the other Lord of the Rings films and was quite fascinated with the tale of courage and found middle earth completely captivating. During this winter reading challenge, I was delighted to find the book on Libby and had every intention of correcting this wrong of sixteen years ago by reading it (listening). It wasn't until I was about halfway through that I realized it was a 1968 BBC radio dramatisation that, while apparently a classic in its own rite, leaves a great deal of content out from the original book. I hope this is still considered an audiobook as it was on Libby, but I was dismayed to find that it was not, in fact, the original book. The task remains for me to read the other book, but I did enjoy this retelling nonetheless.

I gave the book a three star. It was an interesting and vividly written story. However it did feel like we took the scenic route to nowhere in particular. I still do not completely understand the ending and it felt way to open ended for me. Though it was for the most part enjoyable.

Teaches practical and necessary responsibility in preparation for getting a dog!

Cute! I listened to the audio book and the narrator (Natalie Naudus) really grew on me. Overall a nice story, but a little slow in some parts.

An exciting read!!!! Page turner! She inspired my love and passion for reading again!

It was so cool when the kids turned into fairies!
