My personal favorite read of all time is the sesational book The edge of the Cloud by the wonderful writer K.M Peyton.
This easy going, yet beautiful, book is the second in the famous Flambards Series and is, in my opinion, the best out of them all.
It stars 17 year old Christina, who has run away from Flambards with her cousin Will to go to London. They are in love, and yes, they are cousins.
They leave the angry household of Flambards to get away and start afresh, only to discover a host of new problems including Wills love of flying, and the fact that Christina is terrified whenever he leaves the ground.
This is set just before the first world war, and is a great book. I personally like it more than the others because it doesn't go on about horses and riding so much.
It has a host of wonderful characters., and is filled with moments that will make you laugh and make you cry. It also tells a beautiful story about romance and choices and the hard brutallity of life, without being all long winded and stupid.
You have to read the first book to understand about the plot in general, but you will surely agree that this is the best one.
I would rate this a definite 5 stars and would recommend it for 9 years and up.
When I read this book, I couldn't put it down. It has stayed with me forever and has changed the way I see books forever!
They are sooo different! Post your comments and vote on which is best!
