Commentary Toward Books The Velvet Room

Robin was always wandering off (her mother's words) to get away from the confusion she felt inside her. It was not until Robin's father found a permanent job at the McCurdy ranch, after three years as a migrant worker, that Robin had a place to wander to. As time went by the Velvet Room became more and more of a haven for her — a place to read and dream, a place to bury one's fears and doubts, a place to count on. The Velvet Room, first published in 1965, was a Junior Library Guild selection, and part of Scholastic Books' Arrow Book Club.

Criticism About Books The Velvet Room

I first read this book in grade 5 for a class project. I remember it being one of the last books left on the shelf to choose from, and it was one of the biggest ones, and it didn't have the most appealing cover, but I figured the description made it seem better than anything else left on the shelf (I was one of the last students to choose a book). This novel ended up being burned into my memory, as one of the best I had read as a child. The story is about a little girl living on a plantation

I remember running my hands across a shelf of books in the library, it was away from the area that i normally looked. I wanted to find something different and i had pulled out a bright yellow book, but then beside it was a faded copy of The Velvet Room and i took that instead. I'm glad i did, its a wonderful book. It's the type of book that even if you can't remember it exactly you'll never forget the feeling it gave you. I don't own it but i can go back to that musty magical room anytime i

The Velvet Room is one of my favorite childhood books which I'm glad to say, 40+ years later, is still a favorite. It's maybe a different story when reading it through adult eyes but the basic reasons I loved it at 10 are still there~ a good story about a family going through a rough time, a young girl about the age I was when I first read it who loves books and reading as I did then and now, who is trying to adjust to a new life with her family and the Velvet Room itself~ a turret window that

Oh my, I would have so much loved Zilpha Keatley Snyder's 1965 Great Depression themed novel The Velvet Room as a child (or even as a young teenager). For indeed, Robin really speaks to me, with her feelings of not really fitting in with her family, with her needing to get away to think, to read, to recharge (and while I certainly very quickly figured out Bridget's secret, again, if I had read The Velvet Room at a young age, I would most likely not so rapidly have guessed that Bridget was in

Twelve-year-old Robin is always getting in trouble for "wandering off," but can you blame her for trying to escape reality? A few years earlier, Robin's family lost nearly everything thanks to the Depression and, since, have become traveling workers, moving from seasonal job to seasonal job and never establishing the roots Robin so desperately needs. This is why Robin never allowed herself to feel "at home" anywhere. At first the latest stop at Las Palmeras Ranch seems no different, but that

There was that special smell made up of paper, ink, and dust; the busy hush; the endless luxury of thousands of unread books. Best of all was the eager itch of anticipation as you went out the door with your arms loaded down with books. Zilpha Keatley Snyder, The Velvet RoomI am so glad to see this book rated so highly on good reads. I never forgot The Velvet room. I read it in my early years and it was, along with a precious few others, a favorite from childhood. I understood Robin with her

I read this when I was a kid, and was enchanted with the idea of sneaking into a seldom-used portion of someone's house. I should read this again...
