Product Description
Now, back in print, the engaging and suspenseful British fantasy by one of England"s most imaginative storytellers. Lucas Bell is lonely and miserable at Midnight Court, a vast, brooding house owned by his intolerable guardian, Sir Randolph Grimsby. When a mysterious carriage brings a visitor to the house, Lucas hopes he"s found a friend at last. But the newcomer, Anna Marie, is unfriendly and spoiled—and French. Just when Lucas thinks things can"t get any worse, disastrous circumstances force him and Anna Marie, parentless and penniless, into the dark and unfriendly streets of Blastburn.

A Cozy Read for Young and Old Alike, 2008-07-16
Midnight is a Place is a charming book.
It takes you back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, inside dirty mills where child labor is common, down dark back streets in poor neighborhoods and elsewhere. The characters are worth caring about and each chapter leaves you wondering what will happen next to our hero and heroine. It's got lively action, and an interesting plot.
Good Read for all.
 SO FAR SO BAD, 2007-02-22
I have just read part I and am beginning to read part two. So far, It has gone no where much, and nothing good at all has occured. I find myself mindlessly stairing at the pages trying to keep my eyes open. It is also a bit random. I don't know many people who collect cigarette butts to sell for money. I read this for school, otherwise I would have never set my hands upon this worthless (and so far boaring) piece of junk.
The only reason I didn't give it one star is because I have not yet finished it.

Joan Aiken's best one, 2006-10-02
I think that Midnight is a Place is the best of Joan Aiken's. It is more suspensful than the others, and at the end of every chapter your always wondering what's going to happpen next. Also, the story is very origional. Joan Aikens writing is so good that you feel like you are actually there!
Way Overlooked, 2006-05-24
Midnight is a Place a dark story that really draws you into its world. This book has so much depth and imagination without being a to childlike and foolish. A great story, different from others out there
