5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book!, 1 Oct 2004
THE STAR OF KAZAN is a fantastic book. I don't know what 'im-here-to-help' is talking about. The characters are wonderful and the plot is intricate and thrilling.
Eva Ibbotson is a skilled and accomplished writer who is fantastic at creating characters who you fall in love with. THE STAR OF KAZAN is every bit as heartwarming and absorbing as JOURNEY TO THE RIVER SEA and everyone should read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I only dont understand one thing  why there is no continue, 2 Nov 2005
By Elena (Russia, Moscow) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Star of Kazan (Paperback)
It's a great book for girl (and not only). Eva Ibbotson is a talented writer, she has many funny books to enjoy like "Great chost rescue", "Wich, wich" etc... But this book doesn't look these ones. Very kind, very sensible charming story about a girl Annika, who lives in "gold city" Vienna , city of music, city of glory. Annika was adopted when was very little, but she lives happily with her new mother and her friends. She loves her life, but sometimes dreams her real mother to find her. And one day unknown beautiful luxurious woman knocks to the door of Annika's house.... And what will Annika chose: her old simple life in Vienna, where she worked on the kitchen and kept the house, where she made with her old family Christmas dinner, where she played with friends in Vienna central park and went on the birthday to the Horse show... or the new life in German castle, where she will have servants.
It's a mystery romance, what secrets does Annika keep you could know if read this book. I really recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book of the Year, 15 Nov 2004
By Robert Machin (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Eva Ibbotson is a great writer, not 'just' a great children's writer. Every night I read another chapter to my ten year old daughter and looked forward to it at least as much as she did. As in 'The Journey to the River Sea', Eva Ibbotson creates a vivid and fully realised world, populates it with characters which have just enough of the grotesque mixed in with their humanity to make them memorable, then ties the whole thing together with a pageturner of a story that for all its twists and turns is never contrived. Really magical, and my book of the year.
