Book Poor, parts 15 and 16*

 It's really not as scary as the cover would have you believe.  I had never heard of this series before I ran across it in the library last year.  This was a Christmas gift for Z, but she and M both love it.  My favorite part?  The fabulous vocabulary.  Even I had to look up posset.  It brings to mind The Secret Garden (same period), and has really very little about wolves after the first few chapters.

*(As for the new audiobook series that we like, it wasn't the greatest after all.  But we did find a third installment about the Bastable children that we highly recommend.)
