The House at Worlds End (Worlds End series Book 1)
This is the first book of four. Mar 19, Katy Noyes rated it really liked it Shelves: Netgalley review copy A story with lots of charm. More could have been made of Michael's quite severe dyslexia, the reader probably won't understand fully why he writes and reads as he does and the teachers' reactions to it. Even today I think there's still a place for sweet stories like this. Dec 12, Bron Lloyd rated it really liked it.

Improbable situation but funny, quirky writing and great characters. Aug 31, Karen rated it really liked it. This book was written by the great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, and it shows. I must have read this when I was younger, because I had s feeling of deja vu reading it. It reminds me of the Boxcar Children series as well. Aug 06, Jannah Cloud Child rated it really liked it Shelves: Got a hold of the ebook series a while ago.
Finally finished today after forgetting it for a couple weeks. Not as amazing as when I read it when younger but is anything really. Still a nice read. A perfectly workable children's story of nature, animals and self-sufficiency. I'd have loved this as a child, though it very much falls under the category of re-read for nostalgia purposes than something that has lasting appeal, I think. I was pre-reading this for I my son, but I could already see it's going to be quite a few years until he's ready for it, so I'll finish later.
I remember loving this book as a child and reading it several times. Jun 22, Sophie rated it liked it. Kind of book I'd have loved as a child but read more cynically as an adult. I have no idea when I started this book.

It has been in the "Currently Reading" collection on my Kindle for ages and I suddenly decided I was going to finish it before beginning anything else. I've picked the start of the year as a random date, but I know it was earlier than that, probably last year some time. This is still a fun and enjoyable read, although adult me isn't as sanguine about the children living on their own or when the money is or isn't coming from as child me was when I I have no idea when I started this book.

Sep 27, Jodi rated it liked it. This first part of the book was great. I loved the kids' independence, the old inn, and their industriousness.
I didn't care as much for the second half. The animals became a bit much. The Dad was such a loser--he has no sense of responsibility and has no problem letting his 16 year old support the family while he does whatever he wants. Nov 29, K. I would love this life!
