My fifth-grade teacher read this book to my class in 1987, and it lit my imagination on fire!
I would have gone to school, even if it were optional while she was reading this story about three children who learn how to “see” their way to a world of magic and adventure. They ultimately discover myriad and sundry wonderful creatures in a fantasy world where wonder abounds.
I love the understanding that magic is right under our noses, just waiting to be discovered!
From Taya's list on fantasy adventure novels you've never heard of.
