This book was a wonderful story that had me dreaming about it every night. Nine year-old Hillery Loxanne is invited over her next-door neighbor's house to play. Sounds like an ordinary day, right? Well it's not so normal when you live next to the weirdest girl, or family in town. Sara-Kate Colonne is the eleven year-old who lives with her mom who is "always sick”. A tiny, delicate village is found in Sara-Kate's junky over grown yard. Who could have made it? Sara-Kate believes its elves. There’s nothing special about her, but maybe the elves saw something that maybe Hillery could see to in Sara-Kate. This book will have you dreaming about enchanting and thrilling things that will have you fall in love with this book just as I have. |

I love this book because it was so good. I can't actually tell if it was a sad ending or a happy ending. You can't ever hate this book because it has a great (or the greatest) plot. The first part of the book was Hilary and her best friends hates Sarah-Kate. But Hilary is beginning to like her. Sara-Kate had found elves building houses. Hilary was the only one who can go over and look. But her friends don't agree... |

11 year old, Sara-Kate, and 9 years old, Hillary, find there lives full of magic and suspense as they work on the mysterious elf village. Hillary finds herself walking slowly up the stairs of Sara-Kates house. When she gets there she sees a light flowing from beneath the door. She walks toward the door to find... well you will have to find that out for yourself. Later on in the book Hillary begins to be really good friends with Sara-Kate. They were at a party at Sara-Kate's house when Hillary asked her if she was an elf, but before she could answer there was a knock on the door. This is a wonderful book that teaches you that you can be friends with any one. It doesn't matter how different they are from you. All in all, I recommend this book to people who believe in fairytales. |

When I say this book I thought it would be a fantasy book but when I started reading it I found out it wasn't fantasy it was a story about the friendship of two girls, Sara-Kate and Hillary, Sara-Kate an unpopular girl who is afraid and Hillary who is more popular. They become friends because Sara-Kate says she has Elves in her backyard and even though many rumors about Sara-Kate are going around and many people keep telling Hillary to stop being her friend there friendship still sticks together!! |

Many books that receive the Newbery Honors award seem to blend into obscurity in a short time, while their Newbery Medal associates become widely read and praised. Imagine my shock to find that there were no copies of the book at my local bookstore and several large bookstores! Lisle's beautifully written novel is one that must not be overlooked. Children will be intoxicated by the mystery of the elves and Sara Kate's elf-like presence. But there are other issues at the heart of the book: how are those that are different in our society treated, especially the impoverished? What happens to children with parents who are unable to care for them? There are also several pertinent points on the theme of friendship-what makes a real friend and why one must choose them wisely. One step into Sara Kate's world and you'll be hooked. Buy this book and share it with everyone you know! |
