I read it of my own volition in 7th grade and remember loving it with my whole heart (must've just found it at the perfect time in my life). Today, the only part I remember is how dimensions are described to explain time travel. I must've thought that was the coolest thing ever at age 12.<br /><br />I'm super interested in seeing what I think of it now. :) I'm a big overthinker now, myself, so I expect the issues with a 60's children's book will be far more apparent this next time around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-13463588003255484492016-03-29T17:05:38.731-06:002016-03-29T17:05:38.731-06:00I tend to overthink all books, but this is especia...I tend to overthink all books, but this is especially problematic with children’s books.

I am glad that you mostly enjoyed it, and am interested in what you think of the next book in the series.

On the one hand, I feel like it's a book I should have read when I was younger - but going to a French school, you don't get the same classics unfortunately (and if you do, their translated works which often spells disaster) I dislike the fact that IT is evil and there's no further explanation to it too. Like you, I feel like even with children's books, there should be more details there. Hopefully, you'll have better luck with the sequel!Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-81018060878353968632016-03-28T09:00:34.805-06:002016-03-28T09:00:34.805-06:00I read this book in the fourth grade and remember ...I read this book in the fourth grade and remember really enjoying it! I can definitely see how reading a children's book as an adult could make it more difficult to enjoy it, but I've been wanting to do a re-read too. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but hopefully soon. I would be really interested to see how many things I missed as a kid too! I never realized it covered so many topics either! <br /><br />Tracy @ <a href="http://www.cornerfolds.com/2016/03/audiobook-review-great-hunt-by-wendy.html" rel="nofollow">Cornerfolds</a>Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/10715236765292209452noreply@blogger.com
