Dangerous Spaces

Summary: Interesting Read
Review: Anthea, an orphaned girl who now lives with her cousin Flora, begins to have dreams of a strange place called Viridian and a boy called Griff, who lures her onto the end, the 'hole in the middle of the zero'. Flora in her turn dreams of Griff's brother, whom she helps to find Griff. As Anthea goes deeper into the dreams, she begins to lose touch with the real world. This is a beautifully written book, and I especially loved the world of Viridian. However, I found it a little bit confusing at times. Still, I give it five stars for its interesting content. The author also writes about friction between the cousins, who are totally different in looks and personality, and I found this interesting. A good children's book.

Review: Buy this for your kids!
I encountered this book when I was about ten years old. I can still remember the atmosphere it envoked. This would have to be one of the first novels to cause chills to run down my spine! Mahy uses incredible detail to draw you into her mysterious world. At the age of ten, she had me reading all through the night. You can't put this book down! I plan to purchase a copy so that, after all these years, I can enjoy this story again.

Summary: Dangerous Spaces by Margaret Mahy
Review: I found this book rather boring. I thought the biginning was hard to get into. There were some unnessacary discriptions that just seemed to add on to the pages in the book. I noticed I was daydreaming numerous times, which was a sign I wasn't into it. Near the end of the book it got a little more fascinating. I enjoyed some ending scenes that had a little more action. Overall, it was an O.K. book. I wasn't overally thrilled.
