LondonGranddaughter answers:
Two things that grabbed my attention:
First was the way the WW works differently, e.g. pictures whose
characters move, chess pieces that act out their parts, staircases that
realign themselves, etc. Life was breathed into otherwise lifeless
items, expanding my own world of imagination.
Second was her use of Latin and her descritive labels in naming people
and things. I appreciated the planning that went into the names,
enjoyed figuring out the meanings and then forecasting how those poeple
and things would play out their descriptions.
I also appreciated the clean, simple, kid lives they lived. If it had
been issue oriented, or if the kids had lived like adults (as they
often do in TV and movies) I would never have finished the first book.
Thankful that I got to read the first 3 books without waiting,
