another interesting non-linear candidate. My eighth graders helped me see that the strands of that story are knotted like the lace Mairhe made (and like the original, beautiful cover). My suspicion that eighth grade is the right reading level (audience?) was reinforced by the fact that my original copy, with the beautiful cover, vanished into the hands of an eighth grader who chose not to return it to the reading shelf :)
