a lovely book

This book has been a favourite of mine since I first read it as a teenager. Not only is Jasmin a sensitive, emotionally evocative character, but her adventures are intriguing. While the pace can be slow at times, this is to allow the reader to experience the rhythm of life as Jasmin experiences it. I think that the one negative review on this page does a major diservice to a beloved, timeless book. Read it - buy it for your kids - or buy it for yourself!

Inspiring!

Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, but after reading Rosa's seriously negative review, I felt compelled to jump to this book's defence. I read it in junior high and LOVED it! I could relate to Jasmin in most aspects (as I believe many young adults could) and felt a kindred kinship with her. Anyone with imagination, creativeness and a sense of adventure will enjoy this book. I was thrilled when I found it in a second hand book store (like an old friend) and I will give it to my daughter when she is old enough to read it.
