Eva Ibbotson is a wonderfully charming writer with memorable and funny characters. Yes, as the review above states, her stories are as light and sweet as the Viennese desserts she often refers to, but her heroines are not sacharine or dull. But, let's face it, who would you rather spend your afternoon with: charming, witty and fun characters or someone from Hannibal? Ibbotson developes characters ...             The Secret of Platform 13110 reviews Eva Ibbotson Puffin, 1999 Magical Read The book Secret of Platform 13 is one of my favorite books.

The story is set in 1939, just before World War II, and Hitler is on the move.

Hopgood1 review Eva Ibbotson Pan Macmillan, 1987 same book as "The Haunting of Granite Falls", "The Haunting of Hiram" This book is the same as the "The Haunting of Granite Falls", and "The Haunting of Hiram" by the same author. Just a different title and different cover art, same book inside. This is not the author's fault by the way, it is just that 2 publishers have the right to publish her books, they Puffin and Macmillan, and this is what they have done. For some reason that is done with another book from ...             The Morning Gift1 review Eva Ibbotson Arrow Books Ltd, 1994 A Sweet Love Story Like all of Eva Ibbotson's love stories, this one is very sweet and has wonderful characters. One of my favorite things about Ibbotson's novels are that it's not just the hero and heroine that are interesting, but the entire cast of some usually pretty zany characters. If you have enjoyed her other works then I highly recommend it.             Worm & the Toffee Nosed Princess (Story Book)1 review Eva Ibbotson Hodder & Stoughton, 1999 Ibbotson is hilarious This is aimed at younger kids, it has 5 short stories about different monsters. The title story is about a giant worm that teaches a very snooty princess a lesson. Next, the giant sea creature the Kraken from "The Island of the Aunts" is also here. He just decides to stop traveling one day, and turns into an island. Three other funny stories await in this 96 page book.             Madensky Square4 reviews Eva Ibbotson Guild, 1988 A fun & entertaing read !

This is my all-time favorite book. It is one of those books you just can't put down. I would be dishonest to say it had any flaws. My favorite parts are where Anika (the main character) is listening to her neighbors' aunt's stories, especially about how the jewel shop owner gave the old woman "glass" copies of the jewels she had and the time where she makes the Christmas carp by herself. Eva ...             The Haunting of Granite Falls7 reviews Eva Ibbotson Puffin, 2005 Great story, wild characters, laugh out loud situations Be aware that there are 3 books with the exact same story word for word.
