(  )charlie68 | Jun 4, 2009 |   I loved this book as a preteen, and delighted in the surprise endings that bore English teachers today. Because Porter didn't write for children, the vocabulary and settings are prohibitive for all but a very good young reader. To an adult, the stories start to sound alike, but to a child, they can be delightful. mebrock | Dec 25, 2007 | 1  TTAISI-Editor | Oct 28, 2007 | 0.021 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
