My best friend in junior high and high school had me read this probably almost two decades ago now. I always remembered it fondly, because I loved it when I read it. I didn't quite get everything then (I know more about mythology and whatnot now), but it stayed with me. And I've looked for it for years. And then, last year, Ann C. bestowed upon me the copy she'd found in WA. And I just now reread it. It was very satisfying. I still enjoyed it, and it's such a peculiar little book. I still love Peth best too. Oddly, I like Westerly less than I used to. And Calli more. But I digress. Basically, this slightly trippy little book is about two kids who end up in an alternative, Celto-mythological (hah, I made that up) world and have to find their way to the sea, where they presume they'll find their parents. And crazy stuff happens.
