The other reviewers have captured it well: Estes does such a masterful job of bringing the alley itself into focus that I consider it one of the experiences that led me into an architecture/urban design career. Remarkable. (  ) kimsbooks | Jul 30, 2008 |  A bunch of kids who live on an enclosed alleys have a piano recital and catch a burglar. The kids and their (late 40s?) New York City university surroundings are lovingly depicted. I didn't love it as much as other Eleanor Estes but, um, I read them 30+ years ago, so it might just be me. A sweet book with a brave heroine whose best friend is a boy. (  ) ezwicky | Jun 6, 2007 | Can you love a book you haven't finished? I'm not sure, but I think I love this book, even though I haven't read it completely. I love its portrayal of the Alley itself, and its detailed depictions of children’s' imaginative play. For these things I love this book, even though the plot could not keep me going through the last third or so. (  ) ladypeter | May 30, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
