Cornelia S. Englehart has lived a very lonely life. She has never had any friends, her mother is a famous pianist so she is always away, her housekeeper takes care of her, and she has never met her father. But Cornelia's secret refuge is in her books of long words (or the dictionary). One day a new neighbor moves in next door and outside their door is a sign that reads "ATTENTION! CHIEN BIZARRE." and Cornelia's life suddenly changes. Behind the door she finds a magical world where she meets the last surviving Sister of the Somerset Sisters and listens to magical stories from Morocco to India. Along the way Cornelia makes some heartwarming friends and opens up to the world around her.
I very much enjoyed this book and it will definitely keep you reading. I would suggest to anyone seeking a friend, seeking adventure, or just looking for a good read.
I give this book a definite 5 stars!
