My cover's different than this one too and I like it much better. I think it might attract more readers if the publisher re-did the cover to show Kit in her fancy dresses before she looks like a puritan. It was quite obvious in the book that the local puritans allowed her beauty, fanciness and overall differentness to sway their opinion of her as a witch. Natasha- I agree it's the perfect Fall read. If you finish before Thanksgiving it will give you one more thing to be thankful for!

Funny. I think I'm to about twenty for this year on Newberys. I'm surprised with the progress I'm making. Kim – Are timestamps were the same on this post. Funny.

The one I have she has scary eyes! Jennifer - You're welcome! Chain Reader - I'm having a hard time getting into Ana Karinina, honestly only about 20 pages in. It's been that way for a while. Should try again. Amy - I wonder what books I read as a child because I hadn't read this one. I enjoyed discovering it for the first time as an adult. Mari - It is a good one if you ever decide to reread it. Framed - Me too! Supposedly we have somebody in the family way back who was accused of withcraft but I don't know enough of the story to say for certain. Jenn M. - I'm not surprised they are doing a movie tie-in for Tale of Despereaux. I'm sure you will love the movie! I hope to see it as well.

My mom's reading it to my little siblings right now for history, and I snuck it out the other day and reread it. Great book. The cover kinda worried me too, but I read it several times anyway.
