This is by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, and is one of the few "disillusionment-with-magic-as -a-metaphor-for-growing-up" books that I _do_ like, perhaps because Snyder clearly did _not_ disdain fantasy, and actually wrote quite a bit of it. In fact, she later wrote a whole trilogy of fantasy/sf novels based on the world the girls come up with in The Changeling, and I actually read those _first_, before I ever came across The Changeling.
