Ooh, don't you love it when assignments let you indulge your own hobbies? You'll be sharing the result, of course?

those both sound right! I've read The Enchanted Castle and enjoyed it, though I don't think I ever read five children and it? I can't remember! I might have and forgotten it.

lol, since everyone is asking me to I might end up doing it, though it would have to be under f-lock.

I don't remember if this was on your list or if anyone ever mentioned it, but tonight I just thought of .... Coraline! I thought of it because I'm watching the movie for the first time, and I don't really know yet what the differences between film and book will be, but if you want to use it for your paper I'd suggest using the book (by Neil Gaiman). It totally goes with the idea of kids in fantasy lands and then leaving - in this case it's that the fantasy land begins by seeming good but then is really horrific, and the ability to finally leave and destroy its power is a good thing.

(i am SO vicariously excited about this project of yours. super-duper awesome)
