"I read this on vacation after Taylor had finished it and I really enjoyed it. A fun novel of an island of spinster aunts that take care of some fantastic creatures and are desperate to find someone to continue their legacy. I loved the way the author wrote the book, with unexpected things happening (and being said) throughout the story. It reminded me of the Ronald Dahl books I loved growing up. Very fun, and very funny. I would reccommend it for probably 4th or 5th grade on up."

    " I remember trying to read this when I was younger and being unable to finish it because of such a strong sense of secondhand embarrassment. I've finally went and finished it and I must say it's a cute little book. "

    " Such a fabulous writer for kids and families! I really enjoy the tales she tells and appreciate the moral side of each tale. If you have not read her you should. I do not hesitate to give her books as gifts to my young relatives and godchildren. "

    " Plot doesn't move at a consistent pace as it does in other Ibbotson books. And it gets a little preachy about the environment. But there is morecharacter development than in other Ibbotson books. "

    " This will be one of the books used in our 5th grade child/parent book discussion this summer. I think the kids will like it, but I just hope the handful of curse words and visit to a nudist colony don't freak out the parents too much! "
