I see you snaigged the Precious :)

Since you read a lot of children's books, maybe you can help me remember this one title. It was about some kids who meet a good witch, and in the course of the story they meet the Loch Ness Monster, who turns out to be friendly. I've been trying to remember the title for years and can never remember, but I think it was a pretty famous book that won some award--do you know the title?

Well, I was going to head out now but there's a blizzard, so I guess I'm staying here. How's your homework coming?

I don't remember a story like that, sorry!

Ever read Susan Cooper's "Dark is Rising" series?

And my mom read Alexander's "Chronicles of Prydain" to us, but I rather liked them - of course, I was ten.

Writing's coming. Let's not say more.

Eager! I loved him, particularly "Half Magic" and "Knight's Castle". Also read Estes - my favorite was... er... "The Alley", I believe it was called. Mom read James Herriot's works to us, at various times... then there were the "Misty of Chincoteague" and other books by Marguerite Henry. And Jim Kielgaard's "Big Red" and other dog books.
