4.0 out of 5 stars
A really good reader, March 29, 2002
This review is from: Stuart Hides Out (I Can Read Books) (Hardcover)
Usually when a new author takes over for a character's creator or begins to write adventures in some other author's imagined world these new efforts fall flat. (Ruth Plumly Thompson's Oz novels and Brad Strickland's Lewis Barnavelt stories are notable exceptions). Add to that that readers based on movies are quite often uninspired, flat, and boring...and the chances of this new line of Stuart Little adventures don't look good. As is obvious by the rating above, they succeed admirably! Stuart Sets Sail and Stuart Hides Out are exciting (for the reader audience) NEW adventures that keep to the original spirit of White's characters (or at least the characters as presented in the movie). With the sequel coming out soon, they will likely be popular. Good for Susan Hill and Lydia Halverson. The stories are good and the pictures are charming!
