Yeah, I like it too

I read this book many years ago. Ben had found out that a song by The Cure titled "Charlotte Sometimes" was based on a book. So, of course, we had to read it. It is a wonderful book. Written for ages 10-14, but anyone can enjoy it. I love books that suck you in, and you totally feel like you are another character in the story watching the plot unravel. I am not good at summarizing stories, so I thought I would post the lyrics to the song.
Charlotte Sometimes by The Cure All the faces All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of charlotte sometimes Into the night With charlotte sometimes Night after night she lay alone in bed Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But charlotte sometimes did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people seemed so close So close So many Other names Sometimes i'm dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes i'm dreaming Charlotte sometimes Sometimes i'm dreaming Expressionless the trance Sometimes i'm dreaming So many different names Sometimes i'm dreaming The sounds all stay the same Sometimes i'm dreaming She hopes to open shadowed eyes On a different world Come to me Scared princess Charlotte sometimes On that bleak track (See the sun is gone again) The tears were pouring down her face She was crying and crying for a girl Who died so many years before... Sometimes i dream Where all the people dance Sometimes i dream Charlotte sometimes Sometimes i dream The sounds all stay the same Sometimes i'm dreaming There are so many different names Sometimes i dream Sometimes i dream... Charlotte sometimes crying for herself Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself But it's always with love With so much love it looks like Everything else Of charlotte sometimes So far away Glass sealed and pretty Charlotte sometimes Trackbacks

That looks like a really cute book! I am going to have to see if they have it at the library. What made you think about it today? How is the house selling going? Is it going at all? Any interested parties? We are praying for ya!
I had a conversation with someone the other day, and we were talking about the book; A Wrinkle in Time. It got me started on thinking about other children's books I've read.
The house selling is the same. No offers. Thanks for the prayers! Hmmm.. I think I may have read the book once upon a time. I'll have read it to find out. I do like the name Charlotte. (I'll have to put it on the list)
 Sounds like an interesting book. Do you remember when you, Ben, Kevin, and I went to see the Cure in Ohio? I think that was the first time we met. Ben's car broke down and we were hours late for the concert, but we still made it. I think I ended up driving almost the whole way back to Virginia. Ahhh, memories
I had totally forgotten about that. Wow. That seems like a long time ago.
It was the summer of 1996, so yep, it was a long time ago.
