This is one of my all-time favorite books (of all childrens' AND adult fiction books). I have re-read this book numerous times over the years (not this particular copy though!). My 12 year old daughter loves it too.

I read this a long time ago so I don't really remember it that much, but the impression I got was that it was a very good story. I loved how she would retreat to her place behind the attic wall.
