### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every Book Loving Girls Dream
*by K***R on January 26, 2025*

So many girls will relate to Robin and like her would find the Velvet Room a welcome retreat amidst the changes of growing up and will find strength in the choice she makes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An authentic, absorbing story
*by E***N on April 25, 2016*

I loved this book as a child, and I love it as a parent -- I've read it aloud to all of my children. It has a bit of everything! A mystery, which, though somewhat peripheral to the main plot, is nonetheless compelling. Vivid descriptions of migrant farm worker life, a rough life in which even 6-year olds were required to stand all day pitting fruit as fast as possible without a break. Even a bit of a ghost story. The 12-year old protagonist is a likable, nuanced character of real substance. Other characters vary; some are more unique and fleshed-out than others. The premise of the story is wonderful: a homeless child who is hungry for beauty, meaning and solitude discovers a secret refuge,a hiding place from the harsh realities of her life. Ultimately, she must learn to stop hiding and to appreciate the good things available to her in her "real" circumstances. Some reviewers have complained about the book's length and slowness of pace, but books were longer and more rambly decades ago. I actually like that about it.The friendship and mutual respect which develop between the wealthy ranch-owning McCurdys and the indigent, itinerant Wiliamses unfolds in a believable way and surprises them all, but I had to wonder why Mr. McCurdy, portrayed as such a decent and honorable person, couldn't forego a few luxuries and use the money instead to improve the living and working conditions of his employees.I find "The Velvet Room" to be a page-turner in spite of its bulk, and all of my children have loved it and learned a great deal from it as well. Detailed descriptions of a harsh world without child labor laws was very eye-opening for all of us! And Robin's struggles and emotional growth, as she is gently mentored by the memorable character of Bridget, ring true and are very moving. A wonderful, engrossing story.
