A great description on the city and the zeitgeist. Reminds me of such older girlie books as Ann of Green Gables or Emily of New moon.

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0142405825, Paperback)Annika has never had a birthday. Instead she celebrates her Found Day, the day a housemaid and a cook to three eccentric Viennese professors found her and took her home. There, Annika has made a happy life in the servants’ quarters, surrounded with friends, including the elderly woman next door who regales Annika with stories of her performing days and her countless admirers—especially the Russian count who gave her the legendary emerald, the Star of Kazan. And yet, Annika still dreams of finding her true mother. But when a glamorous stranger arrives claiming to be Annika’s mother, and whisks her away to a crumbling, spooky castle, Annika discovers that all is not as it seems in her newfound home . . . .(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:19 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

I felt the person who had written this book had a lot of imagination.
I bet a lot of people liked it.
Its about a girl who dreams what she draws with a special pencil.
But she is not the only one. (
