I would recommend to younger kids (not middle grade age, but younger) and adults who enjoy charming children’s stories. Carbonel and Calidor Sleigh, Barbara Published by NYR Childrens Collection (2009) ISBN 10: 1590173333 ISBN 13: 9781590173336 New Hardcover Quantity: 1 Seller: GoldenWavesOfBooks (Fayetteville, TX, U.S.A.) Rating Seller Rating: Book Description Hardcover. I enjoyed the writing style and the story it stands up to the test of time very nicely. Overall this was a wonderful story about a young girl and her magical cat and the summer she spends hunting treasure with him. For whatever reason they drew me in, and they taught me that I could always store part of myself in a world of the imagination. I read these books time, and time, and time again when I was a child. My 11 year old son started to read this and stopped because he thought it was boring so this book would probably be better for younger kids or adults who enjoy charming kids stories. A children’s book: Carbonel, by Barbara Sleigh, and also the sequel, The Kingdom of Carbonel. Still this was a great read and something I think kids and adults will both enjoy. There is some terminology in here that is a bit dated and I kind of had to use the surrounding context to figure out what some words meant. There’s a bit of a treasure hunt theme to this book and I enjoyed it a lot. I loved Carbonel and the wonderful relationship Rosemary has with her mother, as well as the friendship she develops with John. This was a fun children’s book that is well written and stands the test of time pretty well.
