Niki Piki nikolina160793 — A wonderfully readable mystery by the incomparable Eva Ibbotson. Annika is an orphan who was abandoned as an infant. She is taken in by two servants who work for a family of eccentric professors. She grows up in a servant’s world, surrounded by love, but she yearns to know more about her birth mother. Annika is recruited to care for the elderly relative of an obnoxious family in the neighborhood who are indifferent to their relative’s well being. Annika befriends the old lady, who tells her all about her career as a showgirl and the fabulous jewels that she was given by her admirers. When the old lady dies, she bequeaths her trunk to Annika which is full of her old costumes and fake jewels. Miraculously, one day Annika’s mother appears out of the blue and she turns out to be an aristocrat with wealth and connections. Annika goes to live with her mother and new family, but finds out that things are not quite as they appeared when she first met her mother. The family lives on a large and imposing estate, but the rugs and furniture are threadbare. Annika soon learns that the family has no money, but Annika’s mother seems to have hopes that they will soon be wealthy again. Annika has yet to learn that there is a mysterious and troubling connection between Annika’s inheritance from the old lady and the hopes of her new family. This is a truly wonderful book—perfect for teens who enjoy sophisticated tales such as Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket.

Juan Carlos 7uancarlos — Fantastic book. If you haven't read it - do. I think I'm going to read it again...

Walid Sakr walidsakr — Pretty good. A nice pleasant portrait of another time. Light on plot, though had moments of deep philosophical musings. Overall, Jewett seemed rather to have a rather rose-colored view of people and society. The world needs more Pollyannas though, so it was a nice escape from reality in the form of a quick read. Would be interested to read some of her other works, particularly the short stories.
