I am so glad this book wasn't around when I was a kid. It has everything that really interested me at that age (small girl heroes, secret worlds, marbles) but wrapped in the most horrific imagery I've come across in recent children's lit. If I had gotten ahold of this it would have kept me up far more nights than The Witches ever did.

Final Verdict: Definitely a book you do not want to miss. Appropriate for 4th grade and up. ...more
