Oh I love that book!! It has been one of my favorites ever since I was 12 years old. I love Torey Hayden.

I think you should go for it. At least try it and see how it goes. We read books to our T quite often (although with the younger inside kids, they read things like "Colors" and "Puppies") I've also given our T things we've written (short stories) and I've given her books to read too.

My T is like Torey too.
