"This definitely didn't have the magic of many of l'Engle's other books, but I haven't read her for a very long time, and I wonder whether I would find it in any of her books. I liked Flip better as a self-pitying lonely romantic and didn't love the pull-up by the bootstraps and fit in with the rowdy boarding school girls message. Though maybe in the shadow of World War II, that message was more powerful--just get on with the living because too many have died. I was fascinated by the mention of a hostel for lost children of the war on the border of Switzerland and Germany. Were these places real? Because one of my favorite books by Margot Benary-Isbert also featured an ark-like saving station."
"This was definitely my favorite of the books that I've read by Madeleine L'Engle. I've read it half a dozen times already, and will certainly go back to it again."
"I read this book many many years ago, and it had actually slipped my mind.... until a little while back when all of a sudden i remembered reading and loving an amazing book about a girl in boarding school... i couldn't for the life of me remember it's title! So I searched and searched, and have found it!!! This book is wonderful! I am going to read it again!"
