I loved reading Ruth Chew books as a girl, and I wish she got more attention---I rarely see her mentioned anymore. This was my favorite of all her books, and I read it over and over. Two girls find a drawer full of magic items that were left at one of their houses long ago---7 league boots that can take them far away in a few steps, gloves that make you do anything well and so on. I longed and longed for those items to be real and to be in my possession! ( )
