I read it as a little girl and have continued to read it as an adult. A whimsical, dark take on Beauty and the Beast, there is action and magic on every page. Very few books tackle the French and Indian War in this way. Truly enjoyable for all ages. ( ) A unique take on Beauty and the Beast set during the French and Indian war. I loved how that story brought a classis tale and combined it with an understanding of one tribe of the Native Americans of the time. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale and this held its own as a historical version. I enjoyed the story but the writing made the story drag a bit and i never felt any of the romance that was supposed to have bloomed between Isabella and Wusamequin. read this review and others at http://readingforsanity.blogspot.com/2008/11/spirited-by-nancy-holder-summary-in... nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
