The book describes two true stories that both occurred in Chicago during the 1893 World Exposition. The first is about Daniel Burnham, the fair's head architect, and the second is about H.H. Holmes, who has often been called "America's first serial killer". Larson alternates between the two stories from chapter to chapter and readers learn about the frustrations involved in constructing the buildings for the World Fair and the eerie and suspicious manner in which Holmes built his "castle", a building that would be used as the scene of his many crimes. I know it sounds kind of weird, but it was really good. What I most enjoyed about this book is that it is readable nonfiction; the fact that it's all true makes it all the more fascinating. It is clear that Larson did a lot of research to flesh out his story as much as possible. In addition to telling Burnham and Holmes's tales, Larson also includes references to other famous Americans who experienced the fair, including Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, and Frank Lloyd Wright. The result is a book that covers all bases and is an engaging read.

So far, very interesting study of the effects of nature on children and their development. Favorite line is about the "criminalization of childhood play." Sadly, I've seen that

Book 3 was a struggle to get through...the first two in the series were more interesting and quick reads. This? I may not go on to read the rest.

I loved her cander, and easy to read writing style. It is amazing how in her biggest struggles to survive she was always just a lost girl trying to figure out her role in this world.

A Wind in the Door isn't quite as good as the one before (Wrinkle) or the one after (Tilting Planet), but it's still an excellent book, and I enjoy the attention paid to Calvin, who is a truly excellent character.

I've ogled many a Jessica Day George book at the library while browsing the YA section but they never seem to make their way home with me. When Bloomsbury offered this middle grade novel through NetGalley, I knew I had to request it. What I encountered in reading this book was a darling mystery adventure that will really capture your heart. I quickly fell in love with the setting, the characters, the villians, the magic, the adventure--everything! Castle Glower isn't a normal castle--it's enchanted. It shifts its rooms and hallways to suit its mood and needs. It shifts to show favor. It does all of these things seemingly on its own, but it shows special favor to Princess Celie, our young MC who loves the castle eccentricities and spends much of her time creating an atlas of the castle. When Celie's parents and oldest brother go missing, she and her siblings, Rolf and Lilah, must work together with the castle to fight the bad guys who want to take over the kingdom, and Celie's knowledge of the castle comes in handy more than once. Celie is an incredibly endearing main character. She's fiercely loyal to her family and deeply suspicious of outsiders. She's also really smart and thinks on her toes. She comes up with fabulous schemes to outsmart the bad guys and keep them guessing. It's easy to see why the castle favors her because she simply believes in its magic to its fullest extent. Kids and adults alike will easily fall in love with this fun tale of daring tricks and escapes. I think kids will delight in the childrens' plans to outsmart and outwit the adults. It's the kind of novel that will let your imagination run wild, from the ever changing castle to the plans that kids devise. Magic is well-incorporated into the story and the castle really almost becomes a character in its own right. It's ever-changing rooms and it's secret passages are sure to strike a chord with kids. What kid doesn't imagine living and playing in secret passageways and spying on adults through secret peepholes hidden behind drapes? It's a kind of fantasy world that gives you a clear, beautiful picture of the surroundings but leaves a lot to your imagination. The simplicity of the writing strikes a beautiful contrast to the imaginative landscape of the novel. This is a quick read because once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down, and Ms. George's writing simply flows wonderfully. One of the best things (for me) about this book is that it has a well-structured beginning, middle, and end--despite being the first in a series. Gone are the all-too-popular cliffhangers. This book will make readers want to pick up the next book because it's sure to be a fun, magical read--not simply because the author left them hanging in the previous book.
