“The afternoon Hillary first saw the elf village, she couldn't believe her eyes. "Are you sure it isn't mice," she asked Sara-Kate, who stood beside her, thin and nervous. "The houses are small enough for mice."
First, I would like to thank you, and anything or one that may have aided you in your composition in this book. Due to this book, and several after, I chose to pursue my aspirations of becoming an author. I initially spotted this book squeezed tightly into the shelves of my elementary school's public library. Often had I found myself there, and quite frequently I was in need of a new story to immerse myself in. When I first stumbled into this tale I was around the age of eight or nine. As I dove further into the confines of the tale's binding I added it mentally as, quite possibly, my favourite of all the stories I had read to that point. I found myself emotionally empathetic towards both the young girls. It has been quite a while since I have read this book, but I always recommend it to others, even those past my own age.
Thank you again.
Now that I realise this, I like how you ended this book. It lets you think of the possibilities. And you need to know that. Lisle can shape the next genaration of readers with an unexplained ending. And rexpect that.
When I first read this book it drew me in like how Hillary was drawn in by the elf village. I realised that Sara-Kate was very elf-like far before Hillary had noticed anything. This book is a wonderful adventure full of mystery and dazzling moments. Actully I had cried alot when I read this book. It just... It really made you feel everything. I related most to Sara-Kate. Even though, I am only in 4th grade, I cuold really see this book in varouis situations. A misunderstood girl who was actully afraid but gave off a strong aura. A facinating tale of how two girls start to see 'the way of the elves' Furthermore, I belive that this book has a great potential for a sequel or even a series. This book even overshowed the wonderful compositions of The Slave Dancer. A book I read before strting this wonderful tale.
I read your book in class when we were doing Newbery literature circles. Other authors included Avi, Gary Paulsen, etc. I loved this book but I wish the ending made more sense. Because you never said anything about elves disappearing. My favorite character was Sara-Kate, because she did a good job of taking care of her family. And she was feisty :)
I loved your book it was awesome it was like you dident know what was going to happen next but please write a sequel
