    I've been meaning to read The Red Necklace for a long time. The librarians at my school have been recommending it for years. I just want to ask one thing, though. Is this the version that Tom Hiddleston narrates? I just noticed that there's another version that much more expensive, and I wanted to know which one I should be getting before I spend my money.
  • Great read!

    This book is my all-time favorite. I remember grabbing it off the shelf carelessly and thinking that it would stay in my locker all day for the next week. But found myself crouched over my desk, reading like there was no tomorrow! I was surprised at how great and suspenseful it was, immediately knowing the characters! I recommend this book, and others by Sally Gardner for sure!
