"The old woman stands on the hilltop, just on the edge of the woods, well hidden from the farmhouse below."
You'll have to excuse the middle grade love I will be showing the next couple weeks. Around Halloween I went on a Mary Downing Hahn binge after finding her newest book at our school book fair during conferences. I requested a bunch of her books from the library that I hadn't read, due to them being published while I was in college (or later).
Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Happy Reading,
