The Princess and the Goblin has been kind of hard for me to follow along with and understand at times, especially when I first started reading the book. It's also my picture of a typical fantasy story like Cinderella, Harry Potter, etc. The more we discuss the meaning behind the characters and what takes place in the book, the more I understand and like the book. I really like the grandmother. At first, she seemed a little weird and somewhat scary, but as the story went along she became more magical and enchanted. I really like how she watches out for Irene in different ways, without Irene even being aware of it most of the time. She's your typical grandmother who cares and loves for her grandaughter; making sure she stays out of trouble, is always safe, does what she is told, and stays clean and healthy. Overall, this book isn't bad, but I think it would be more enjoyable for older children, ones who could maybe analyze the light aspect in it and understand the message behind the story itself.
