Book Reviews of The House Above the Trees
Book Review: My favorite children's chapter book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most beautiful story I have yet read to my children. It was hard for me to put down--not usually the case--so I read much later into the night than is typical. It tells of an 8 year old embarking on a magical journey through the forest interacting with the people and creatures she finds there. The messages of strength and listening to one's own voice despite strong opposition are beautifully couched in the gripping and unique story. I'm certain that with further readings I will uncover much more depth. We will read this one again and again and will give it as birthday gifts for the next few years.
This is an especially amazing book for families living without the influences of television/videos. I cannot recommend it highly enough. We loved her other book, The Wind Boy, but this one is even better.
