The Pink Motel by Sheila Greenwald, Carol Ryrie Brink
4.0
A charming children's novel by one of my favorite authors. A family inherits a motel in Florida-- one that is both improbably pink and attracts an array of improbable guests, including a magician, socialites, gangsters, and an old woman who may be a fairy but is probably just an artist from Greenwich Village.
One of the things I loved about this book is its written so that a child would like it -- not a "mini adult". It's got that quality of make - believe, in which you're not quite sure what's real but it's all quite lovely. A very nostalgic read!
