Elizabeth, an avowed realist, finds herself able to move in and out of the mind and body of a girl who lived one hundred years earlier. This description may be from another edition of this product.
My gosh! I also read this book as a child and it has stayed with me all these years. I am 36, and I've been looking for this book for years. I thought I had the name wrong, I have also thought maybe I dreamt it! I can't believe this book has astounded so many people, yet remains so elusive! Let's all write the Publisher and get this book back in the public again! Our children should be able to get the pleasure we've received from this book. They too would check it out again and again from the library! It feels good to finally find the author and verify the name of this book at least!
Staying power

I am 31 years old and I remember reading this book in middle school. I checked it out from the library over and over and it has always stayed with me. Like the other rewiews I sometimes wondered if I dreamed it up or if the book really existed.
I will never forget this book

Anyone who reads this book is a lucky person, for it surely will have some impact on his or her life. I will never forget the way this book made me feel in my formative years. I will always remember the feeling of stepping back in time along with the girl in the woods, of seeing everything so vividly, of picking up the baby and bathing it, sleeping on the straw mattress... I really wish the publisher would re-release this book.
An outstanding display of adventure and daydream. Exciting!

To Nowhere and Back was read to me when I was in the 1st grade. I fell in love with this enchanting book emidiatly. In the last few years my memory has rested upon finding it and owning my own copy for me and my grandchildren's pleasure of reading. I was dismayed to find out that this wonderfull book was out of print and had been for over forty years. My heart sank. I still have not been able to find this wonderfull book. I have been unsuccessfull in finding even a used copy. But if you should happen to stumble across an old green book with the corners of pages torn and the cover picture fading with age, hold on to it for it shall be a classic someday.
