I read this book in 5th grade and I honestly LOVE it. The author put many describing words to give me a sense that I was one of the sister's good friends.

I love this story about poor little Oliver! He is so mistreated and just feel sad. He lost his mother the day he was born. This book is full of adventure. I am reading it in 6th grade.

This book is amazing! I loved following the adventures of Harvey and Wendall as they struggle to overcome the mysterious Mr. Hood and defeat the magical trap that lures children in, with no wish of returning them to their families.
