Children's author of The Teashop Girls and Planet Explorers Travel Guides for Kids

"One of my favorite books is I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith. I really related to the thoughtful narrator in this classic coming-of-age tale as she struggled with her first love, a difficult family and her writing dreams. I would recommend it to both young readers and adults; it's a beautiful book."

JonathanFlorick's picture
by JonathanFlorick on May 17, 2013
Sounds a little like Mirrormask. I haven't read the book (Neil Gaiman), but I've seen the movie. It's about a young teenage girl, Helena, who lives with and performs in her parents' travelling circus. She hates that life, though, and one night, when her mom comes to her trailer to tell her to get ready (in the middle of making one of the many drawings plastering her walls), they have a very angry fight. Just before the performance, her mother goes unconscious and ends up in the hospital for an unspecified serious illness. She goes into surgery the next night, and that same night, Helena dreams of a fantasy world vividly populated by her imagination, and that dream tells the story of all her dreams and of all her fears -- particularly her biggest one that night.
