Now hunting down her other books! Lovely review - she does deserve a revival I think. I've been inspired to start reviewing old kids books too, over at my wordpress site, starting with Midway. https://khaosartia.wordpress.com/2015/02/22/midway-by-anne-barrett/ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-48150180795117533142012-08-31T21:14:48.257-05:002012-08-31T21:14:48.257-05:00Aaaand, I will be hunting this one down, as well. ...Aaaand, I will be hunting this one down, as well.

Woe! How will I ever read it? It sounds like a perfect Jenny book too!<br /><br />In other news I hope you are able to get a copy of The Ghost of Opalina through your library. If I could put one out-of-print book back into print, it would be that one. It's glorious.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-42535567923086385132012-08-22T00:10:37.566-05:002012-08-22T00:10:37.566-05:00So glad you enjoyed it!

I have seen just two copies on eBay in the last ten or so years. One I meant to buy and somehow missed the end of the auction and one last week that I couldn't justify at $51.00. A friend who read it recently was offended by its depiction of Native Americans but as I child I loved it and am sure would still love it.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-51058909099784415642012-08-21T15:10:17.423-05:002012-08-21T15:10:17.423-05:00That's how I got a copy to read.

Both books seem to have the same tone and feel.<br /><br />Maybe we should all contact Purple House Press and ask about bringing these books back?<br /><br />Or maybe someone could bring them back as ebooks. Maybe not as ideal as print books but at least they would be more accessible.<br /><br />C.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310377995959127793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-8020609304317366362012-08-21T08:16:18.163-05:002012-08-21T08:16:18.163-05:00How depressing that Caterpillar Hall is out of pri...How depressing that Caterpillar Hall is out of print.
