You actually might like Castle in the Air more then - I think there's more adventurey things in it!Elizabethhttp://oboechica-books.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178753992132096505.post-44186374789985796652014-08-12T16:53:35.126-04:002014-08-12T16:53:35.126-04:00Haha, I also read 'Chairman' and I thought...Haha, I also read 'Chairman' and I thought 'what a strange name for a girl...'

And if you like Middle Eastern/Aladdin influenced things it is definitely a cool read. I feel like I have this strange compulsion to fall in love with the nonhuman characters in this world!
