Summary: Fond Remembrance
Comment: This book was read to our 5th grade class by...I wish she knew how today I am still affected by the different world of "reading for enjoyment" she opened for me. I, like many others reviewing this book, looked for it on several occasions and thought I had the title wrong or I had imagined the book; and am glad to know that I can easily obtain it now. (For years I looked for "Mystery of the Silver Crown")
Silver Crown is so well written, it's great for readers of all ages who are ready for adventure. It opens worlds of wonder, stimulating the imagination. I remember the anticipation and not being able to wait until the designated time the teacher would read the coming chapters. I wanted to get a copy for myself to go ahead and finish it, she was taking too long--a chapter or two at a time was not enough. How disappointed I was when the book ended...the entire class wanted more, and so will you. I think that's why if you have your own copy, you will read it time and time again...I've ordered and am waiting for my copy now!!
If you can obtain a copy, get it and share with the young ones in your life...read it together with the whole family or lend it to a teacher you know to share with his/her class...they will love you for it. Everyone you introduce to this classic will remember you fondly for years to come when they think of this book (and they WILL think of it time and time again!)...it's one they and you will never forget (IT'S BEEN 27 YEARS FOR ME!!). Get it and enjoy!!

Summary: The Silver Crown is a terrific book!
Comment: I broke my leg when I was in the fourth grade and was unable to participate in p.e. for 4 months. I spent my p.e. time at the school library. The wonderful school librarian reccomended The Silver Crown to me and told me that it was one of the best books that she had ever read. I couldn't have agreed with her more! This book transported me to another world and I was devastated to find out that it was no longer in print. I now teach fifth grade and I am constantly telling my class what a magical book this was. Surely some publisher will read this and re-print this masterpiece. I would LOVE to get my hands on a copy.

Summary: Hopelessly out of print.
Comment: Unfortunately I did not read The Silver Crown in elementary school when I should have, but years later when I first had a chance to lay my hands on a copy--I had been interested in the book for some time because of the very unique character of the author. Needless to say, because of this belated introduction, I was not immersed in the book so deeply as many of the other persons here (hence my 4/5 star review). On the other hand, I am extremely sympathetic toward the plight of Robert's books (all 4 are extraordinary in some way, and I imagine it is miraculous that half of them remain in print). When I set up a biographical page on Robert in 1996 I began to get e-mails asking me where one could acquire copies of the silver crown. Of course, there is no real answer to this. I think McMillian had it in print extremely briefly in the late 80's/early 90's, but this version had an alternate ending I have heard described by one reader as lame and apparently significantly weakened the book. To the extremely dedicated, I suggest finding out who the last publisher was and sending them e-mail as to the possibility of getting the book back in print--I believe there are other publishing houses that would be willing to do it if McMillian(?) is not. Lastly, I keep a list of folks looking for out of print O'Brien books (I do turn up extra copies of the Silver Crown now and then), if interested, e-mail me.
