    <body><![CDATA[I first came across this book during a reading exercise in 4th grade.  We only read a few chapters but the story stayed with me all these years, maybe because when I was little I wished I had some special power to set me apart.  One good thing about unemployment is that is gives me the time to look ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59937891">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked the plot line of this book. It reminded me a little of Matilda at first, but then I realized it was completely different. It was interesting, but I thought it jumped around too much. It was really kind of confusing, and I didn't like the way it ended. Not one of my favorite Willo Davis Rober...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57992731">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I can't recall too much about this book, or why I liked it, really. Though I do believe this book is what really started my fascination with the idea of telekenisis and telepathy. <br/><br/>Ever since then, many of my characters have had some form or other of telepathy, and a few telekenisis. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Oh how I loved this book when I was little.  A book about a strange girl; now I could really relate to that!

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book when I was kid because the characters have magical powers but it's not a sci-fi or fantasy book, really. I guess you could call it magical realism, but that's not quite right, either. At any rate, except for the powers, the book is realistic. ]]></body>
