| I was disappointed when I received the book the dust jacket was ripped.
It was even more annoying because I had bought the books as a gift for the students at the Appleton Vilage School in Appleton, Maine, to be read for the Battle of the Books. |

| It's been decades since I was a young reader at Sevilla Elementary School in Phoenix, entranced with reading as many library books as I could carry home every few days.
Usually, I only checked out each title once. One book, however, kept me coming back for more: "The Velvet Room." Maybe it was because the heroine in the book had a secret place of her own, something as the middle child among five siblings my world definitely lacked. I'm not sure, though, as it has been many years since I've ... Read More: |

| This book that Zilpha Keatly Snyder wrote is simply genius and I recommend it to all 6,7,and 8 graders. While I was reading this book I kept picturing myself as Jessica,the main charcter,and since she is about my age then I could realy relate to her. Sometimes I thought that my dog would get possesed by a demon like the cat worm did in the story. This book will keep you on the end of your seat.

| This is perhaps my favorite book of all from my childhood. Periodically I reread it as an adult and my appreciation grows every time. It is so unassuming, like the character of Martha, but the themes are big: the meaning of friendship, the art of finding beauty in life, the winding paths of growing up. The characters could step out of the page, the emotions are deep and true, and the end is so simple and quietly heartbreaking, but at the same time the kind of sorrow that is full of life and joy and passion. ZKS was truly ... Read More: |

| When I started reading this book, I expected it to be an amazing story with a major climax and ending. I thought it was an okay book. The author's writing was amazing, including many metaphors and descriptive details but the actual story line was not. Xandra is one of the main characters in the book and she finds a key to a world not commonly known to humans, called the unseen. The only real conflict in the story was when she got lost in the world in the forest, and it was resolved almost instantly. She was rescued bo her two older brothers ... Read More: |

| 'Lo, there. I just read Below the Root. I was looking for a new book, and was instantly taken in by it's beautiful cover illustration, the fact that it hadn't been checked out of my library in 18 years, and of course, what the summary promised. I quickly snatched it, settled down, and prepared to immerse myself. The beginning was great--featuring Raamo in the trees, with a scenery I enjoyed, and a calm atmosphere. Gliding? Spirit-Powers? Drug-Berries? Oh, YES! I was feeling I could get into this!
Then things got weird. ... Read More: |

| This book overlaps the first book in the series, BELOW THE ROOT. It is told from the point of view of Teera, the Erdling child who was rescued by Neric and Raamo and taken to Green-sky. The book starts back at Teera's home in the caverns below "The Root" and shows how their society is marred by strife and hunger. The food allocation committee decides her pet lapan (something similar to a rabbit) must be killed and eaten for food. Teera, desperate to keep her pet, runs away from home and wanders down the endless corridors until she is hopelessly lost, then squeezes ... Read More: |

| The list of characters at the beginning of this book should give you a hint that the book is hard to follow. The main characters from the first two books of this series, BELOW THE ROOT and AND ALL BETWEEN, are back, along with a cast of hundreds. The two girls from different cultures, Teera and Pomma, are the focus of the Rejoyning, the integrating of the Kindar and the Erdlings into one society. The girls soon find out that it is no fun to be revered as messiah figures; in fact it puts them in danger from the splinter groups on each side who want society to remain ... Read More: |
