Nesbit has a real gift for writing compelling stories centered on children; she perfectly threads the needle between realistically childish and characters who consistently make the choice that makes the better story.
The bit with the enchanted statues was the highlight, for me. The lowlight was the historically plausible but now entirely out of line blackface scene, which was thankfully brief.
