Notice Out Of Books The Star of Kazan

Eva Ibbotson is by far my favourite author ever! Her books are the perfect mix of historical fiction, adventure and that special touch Eva adds to all her books. The Star of Kazan was lovely and I absolutely loved the twists and turns of the story. Eva Ibbotson does this thing in her books where she makes you just want to be there and seeing the events unwinding right in front of you, with the Star of Kazan, the detailed description of Vienna and the sights within just made me want to jump into

Just as good as her book The Dragonfly Pool...I might have even liked the story better. Overall, great story, well-written, great characters... a really nice read

3.5 starsThis is just a fun, very enjoyable tale of an foundling child, Annika, who was taken in by Sigrid and Ellie, the servants of a trio of professors in Vienna. She has a happy life there with her adopted mother Ellie, her "aunt" and "uncles", and her many friends throughout the town. She daydreams about her mother one day coming for her, until it actually happens and she is dragged off to Germany.Now, if you know Ibbotson's style, not much in the story will come as a surprise, as her plots

Oh my! I loved this just as much as I did the last time I read it! Such a sweet story and just the ending you are hoping for. Also, this book has the Spanish Riding School and the Lippizaner stallions in it. What more could a girl ask for. I hope my nieces like it as much as me.



On a roll here with Eva Ibbotson's delightful middle-grade/YA novels. This one has it all: hidden treasure; an abandoned child; a suspicious cast of relatives and a very special horse and his boy.

The last time I read this book was about 5 years ago and I remembered it to have been a good book but I had forgotten just how good it is. Once again, I am blown away by the way Eva Ibbotson creates a completely believable new world and thoroughly enjoyable characters. Although this book is written for children, I recommend that you also read it as a teen or adult because it is only then that you will be able to appreciate the truly beautiful writing style, especially the descriptions of
