Children's Middle grade Novel Synopsis: In Julie’s story you come across a mysterious travel chest, a lost fairy tale, an editor with a squirrel and kindred spirits. You travel back in time, go to an extravaganza and meet me, Cordelia Grimm, great, great granddaughter of one of the Brothers Grimm. If you can recall the sense of awareness you felt as a child, the intimacy with family members, the thrill of climbing into a musty attic, unknown adventures waiting every time you opened the door and went out into the hot summer days, then this book is for you. Julie feels no doubt about her place in a loving family, and finds a way to express that affection in return. Along the way she encounters a bit of history, plenty of memorable characters around town, and a mystery to puzzle out. What more can you ask for in a good book? If you are a parent in search of wholesome reading for your child, look no further. The lesson plans for teachers are curriculum based for the middle grade and have been used in classrooms nationwide. Regular editions of this book are available for young readers and students.
