The Little White Horse

3 books:
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis


Statement:
It took me a long time to get into the book. Since it is set in the 1800's it is hard to relate to. I do like how the reader needs to use their imagination, which I feel is a very important quality to have in a novel.

Question:
I noticed that this book won the Carnegie Medal which is a book award for outstanding childrens books. Do you think that children (from the ages 9-12) would be able to relate to this book? Or is this book more suited for the adolescent age group? Should this book be catergorized as a children's book or an adolescent book?
