    I liked this. I can't say that it was my favorite, but I would recommend others to read it and I hope that HHS buys it because I have a couple of students in mind that might like it: Bruce, Thomas, Megan, Sara Johnson, Jordan Manley and Dani Hartung.I listened to it, so I don't have very many comments. The one thing that I did notice is the setting in time and location. I loved that it was set in Venice. There were times I could visualize the alleys and streets as if I was there. I think that was in part because Funke describes the streets so well and the fact that I had been there. The setting in time was a little confusing to me. It seemed to me that it was set back in time, however, there were current technologies mentioned, ie. cell phones. I also like the little of hint of fantasy, sometimes fantasy stories become overpowering and this one just had a little to wet the appetite. I look forward to reading others by Funke.
