I believe this book will appeal particularly to teens (I . one of my favorite books of all time I have loved this book ever since I first read it around age 10. My daughters, now grown up, also read and loved it and still take it on every family ski trip we make! The setting in Switzerland is magical, and even the school is a place you'd want to b. Stroll down memory lane. Loved this book as a child, still good memories. My Aunt gave me the paperback years ago and it was lost. Happy to have it again.
