A review by corncobwebs
The Velvet Room by Alton Raible, Zilpha Keatley Snyder

As Robin put her hand on the doorknob, a wonderful feeling of expectation made her shiver. It was like opening a fat book to the first page or hearing the first exciting notes of new music—a feeling of promise and mystery.

As a dreamy kid who was always stuck in her own head, this book captured my imagination and tattooed itself on my heart. Zilpha Keatley Snyder's books are nothing short of magical.
