In anticipation of Disney's movie version of this book coming out in the spring, I just reread it for probably the 10th time in the past 40 years. This story captivated me as it did when I first read it. Classic good vs evil and love conquers all. A book that's been banned several times throughout years, it was ahead of its time with a young female protagonist. Science fiction and mystery....this book opened up new worlds and thoughts to me.
