I, Juan de Pareja

emtobiasz I love Catherine, Called Birdy ❤️ 5y
Sace @emtobiasz I asked my daughter which one I should read and she said she read Catherine but couldn't remember a thing about it but that she really remembered Ghosts. 5y
emtobiasz Hmmm, don‘t think I‘ve read Ghosts I Have Been. Catherine is very funny and helped make preteen me obsessed with medieval times— in the grisly realist sense, not the chivalry sense. I‘ve been meaning to reread it. 5y
Sace @emtobiasz Ghosts is one of my childhood books and Catherine was published the year I graduated from college. I really should read it. 5y
MayaB1226 I loved The Phantom Tollbooth when I first read it in second grade, and I still love it now! It‘s filled with brilliant puns and wordplay that I‘m sure flew right over my seven-year-old head when I first read it. It‘s really clever and the illustrations are great, too! 5y
Clare-Dragonfly I can hardly help you decide—I really love several of the books on your list! But I do feel like Ghosts I Have Been is not as well known as the others. 5y
Sace @MayaB1226 ohhh....that sounds like something I would really enjoy. 5y
Sace @Clare-Dragonfly it's actually a sequel to another book which I've never read. They were both written in the 1970's.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Ghost Belonged to Me 5y
The Ghost Belonged to MeClare-Dragonfly I think there are three or four books, actually! The third(?) isThe Dreadful Future of Blossom Culp 5y
The Dreadful Future of Blossom CulpSace @Clare-Dragonfly it's so strange to me that as a kid I was only aware of Ghosts I Have Been. Even as an adult and knowing there are others I don't feel a rush to read the others. I'm looking at Offspring's bookshelf now (she's been gone over a decade but many of her books remain) and I see she has the first and the one you tagged. 5y
