A review by rebelbelle13
Goody Hall by Natalie Babbitt

4.0

All of Babbitt's books have the same magical, whimsical, fairy tale type feel to them. My only gripe is that they are too short! Hercules Feltright wasn't my favorite character, but I did love the mystery of the father's whereabouts and Hercules' part in it. It is somewhat convenient how everything simply fell into place in under 200 pages and in a few day's time in the novel, but we can chalk it up to this story being more a morality tale than a believable work of fiction. I often wonder how Babbitt would have fared writing a proper novel- one with more than 300 pages.
I really enjoyed this little book, and I'm excited to see what else Babbitt has in store.
