OK, so while I was doing research on what to name our new kittens *squeal*, I hit across a name that reminded me of a book I really loved as a kid. It's called "The Castle In the Attick" by Elizabeth Winthrop (sp?) about a 10-year-old ish kid whose English nanny is going back to England and he doesn't want her to. She gives him a toy castle to play with and he discovers it's all magical and stuff when he shrinks down to its size and adventures through it in his quest to find a way for Mrs. Phillips to stay with him. And apparently there's a sequel, although I can't remember for sure if I've read that one too... It's listed as appropriate for 9-12 yo ****** NyteMuse "Call her life unnatural, feel her undead breath. Color her black for sorcery, color her gray for death."
