Return To Gone-Away Audiobook

" My review for the previous book, Gone-Away Lake, will pretty much cover this one too - this is another gentle, idyllic story, perfect for summertime reading. "

" a girl named Portia Blake and her family came back to Gone-Away Lake,to move into an old house locked up tightley for nearly half a century. So it's completely covered in dust and dirt so they have to clean it up. "

" I had been waiting to get my grimy little paws on the sequel to "Gone Away Lake" since I had to return it to the library before it had been read, many years before. An utterly delightful book, chock-full of gems. "

" Follow up to the excellent Gone-Away Lake. I love the illustrations. "

" Love this one. The story and characters are not as well developed as they are in Gone-Away but the idea of exploring a house like this is magical. "

" This was very nearly as delightful as the first one. I really will have to see about getting copies of both of these at some point, and add more of Ms. Enright's work to my to-be-read list... "

" The sequel to Gone-Away Lake, this novel is just as fun and interesting. "

" Great bedtime reading for ages 8 to 108. Read Goneaway Lake first. "

" I don't think I could ever tire of Enright's story telling. She has a way of being descriptive without being too flowery and a way of bringing her characters to life. Fun quick read. "

" One of the best stories I've ever read. "

" Very good. It may have even been as good as the first one. "

" The focus this time is not on the swamp and its decaying houses (although they do play their part) but on the old house being made new for a modern family to live it. A warm and wonderful booked drenched in the sense of forever and of discovery that made summer so magical in childhood. "

" This sequel isn't quite as magical as the first book but it is still a good story. "

" A continuation of a great book. To be able not just to find these houses, but to actually get to live in one... I'm fairly sure this is where my dream of buying an old Victorian fixer-upper came from. Definitely a classic that I plan on sharing with my own children someday. "

" I enjoyed this book even more than the first Gone Away book, mainly because I loved the descriptions of the house and all the treasures in it. I wish we could find our own Villa Caprice! "

" Another of my favorite comfort books--another wonderful summer at Gone-Away, exploring a house that has been closed for fifty years. "

" A sequel that is actually just as good as the original! "

" More wish-fulfillment, this time with an attic of antiques and legends of lost jewelry. Still heaven. =) "

" the blake family moves to a new house: the villa caprice. they discover tons of secrets, but read the first book to understand this book "

" Now, I just wish this series would go on and on! Though I really love fantasy and YA, it's sometimes essential for me to take a break from those and just read some "younger" books. This was one of my favorites. I wish I was there! "

" I remember these being some of my favorite books when I was younger...but that's sadly about all I remember now. "

" The sequel to the wonderful Gone Away Lake allows us to return to the great characters one more time. Minnie and Pin are fun as always and the kids continue to explore, especially their new house, the former Villa Caprice. Fun, but not as extraordinary as the original. "

" I usually HATE sequels because they ruin the first book for me if they flop. But this book was a lovely addition to the wonderful Gone Away Lake. Read it, even you're not a child!! "

" A fun, escapist book for readers of any age who loves old houses and carefree summer adventures. This sort of book doesn't once mention any social or environmental ill. Do such books exist anymore? Should they? "

" I was kindof disappointed with this book. I don' think it is as good as he first Gone-Away book. "

" A worthy sequel to a charming classic. Good fun. "

" I was sad when this book ended, especially because there are no more sequels so it was my last trip to Gone-Away Lake! "

" Not quite as good as the first book in the series, but then it is hard to improve on perfection ;) And it's still really excellent, and a wonderful comfort read, even if the plot isn't as interesting and a tad more repetative. "

" I like this, but not nearly as well as the first book. I think this reread was only the third time I've read this one and it really just isn't as good as the first. "

" The sequel to the wonderful Gone Away Lake allows us to return to the great characters one more time. Minnie and Pin are fun as always and the kids continue to explore, especially their new house, the former Villa Caprice. Fun, but not as extraordinary as the original. "

" I was just reflecting, as I often do, on the genius of Elizabeth Enright. *** He turned to his cousin. "I've named him already, though, and I named him after you: Julian Jarman Frog." "Thanks a lot," Julian said. "I appreciate that a lot." "

" I may love this sequel even better than the original, which is saying something! "
