Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom


 When my library got this I was excited. It's a "lost" story from Sylvia Plath. This was written doing her college days. It was just ok. It's about a girl's hellish train ride. The ride takes an unexpected turn when the character learns that the train is taking them to an icy ninth kingdom. The girl manages to get off just before the train stops there. This story is worth reading because it shows Sylvia Plath's potential. But if you're expecting something as brilliant as The Bell Jar or Ariel you will be disappointed.
