The Secret of Platform 13 by Eva Ibbotson has been one of my daughter’s favorite books since she read it upteen years ago. It was one of mine too, but I forgot why until she suggested I read it again. So I did…in a day. I’m not going to tell you the story. Many of you already know it. But if you don’t, it’s populated with wizards and hags and witches, mermaids and ogres and “wonderful creatures called mistmakers”.
Eva Ibbotson has captured a world we’d all love to live in. The Secret of Platform 13 is a delight for all ages.
Two Heads Together 
Ed,
This is one of my favorites books! It just might be on my summer reading list, again. I remember when I first read it to my kids (so many years ago) and we all fell in love with it together.
Do you mind if I share your blog with several librarian friends? I know they would be interested in your suggestions and reviews.

Bernadette, feel free to share the blog with anyone. It is a wonderful book.
Hope you had a great holiday weekend.
Ed
