Remembering award-winning British Author Eva Ibbotson, 85


We were sad to read that author Eva Ibbotson, best known for The Secret of Platform 13, The Star of Kazan and Island of the Aunts, died at age 85. Ibbotson is a personal favorite of Miss Carlson and often recommends her books to children who enjoy light fantasy. Ibbotson's books were not only character driven but filled with thrills and fun chills. She leaves us with two books to be published this summer. We look forward to reading them.
