This book is one of many books that I found hard to read and understand! It took me 3 times to read it and understand the basic story Linda Newbery was trying to pass through. This book has a very deep meaning and gives a hint about the ending after every chapter, using language techniques such as similes and metaphors. The protagonist of this book, "Nina Bickerstaff" also has alot in common with me, so I felt the loneliness in her heart. The biggest hint Linda gave me was "The Green Crocodile", The Green Crocodile is described as "a green velvet crocodile, nearly as long as the spread of Nina's arms, it had a ferocious expression and big pointy teeth that gaped wide, revealing a blood-red lining to its mouth".(p.13) Gradually throughout the story Nina begins to have a liking of the crocodile, in the end she orders her Aunts not to sell it. Overall this book has placed my top 10 chart together with books or series like: The Series of Unfortunate events, Dragon Kepper, The Percy Jackson Series etc...
