This story absolutely cried out for an afterschool special though as a book it was a fun read but the "real" explanation of the story made it a bit sillier than poignant.more
It's just the oddness of the book softens those parts.Īlso a minor problem is that this is really only Teresa's story, Barnie's is barely told after the first part. There's also a sad thread of unwanted children throughout the book, at all ends of the societal spectrum. The opening scenes are surprisingly brutal, set in a lawless school and with a couple of harrowing scenes of cruelty. That tonal inconsistence is the main reason I only give it two 's very nicely written and very sad in parts. However that makes the book even more unrealistic than you think, especially as it winds to a conclusion. It's not much of a spoiler to say that the supernatural element you'd think exists doesn't.

I feel i would have devoured this as a kid, since Witch Mountain was very dear to my heart.more As a book its just average, but as an expression of a trope its near perfect. This book is a weird case of an existing trope made perfect what came to mind reading it was Robert Young doing the same thing in his books, save it's "An older man is enchanted by a young girl who comes looking for him later on."

The little paragraph about the trope above is literally what happens in most of the book a repeated series of captures and escapes. Jan's true identity is spoiled way too early in the book, and the background about why they have powers is paper thin. However as a story, Escape to Witch Mountain is much better. It's a very attractive child fantasy, and a powerful one. The villains are villainous, but the children's lives aren't in peril even if their freedom is. She's not blind! But well, even though she is a telepath, she has weak eyes and poor depth perception, so she needs Jan's help even as she can help him. Jan is constantly captured or put in peril, and Ginny is such a winsome girl. The Vanishing Boy is incredibly cozy like this. *wakes up* We're trapped! Don't worry! I'll get us out of here! We're so close to the truth, I won't let them stop us! Oh no! They caught us! A needle/judo chop/nerve pinch! I'm.I'm passing out. I'm a boy! I don't really remember who I am or what I'm doing, but I do know I need to escape from the people chasing me! Oh! I have psychic powers! But why? At least I'm accompanied by my sister/cousin/girl I care very much for, and our powers together might help us overcome the bad men after us! Oh, and the grownup who knows our secret can help too! He's so nice, even if he isn't powerful as us/has no powers. Cozy Child Espers might be as close to a label as any. Key I believe was the first writer to create a new trope, which is a little hard to sum up in a phrase. This starts a journey to find the truth about his past, and his own secret powers powers someone is willing to capture him to obtain.
Next to him is an adorable girl in dark glasses who asks him if he needs help. He remembers nothing except getting on it, not even his own name. Key did the same themes much better in "Escape to Witch Mountain," but this is probably the most perfect example of the trope Key himself created.
