I'd like my daughter to read it, there's such great examples of people doing good, but it's probably not exciting enough for her.<br /><br />Cath- You might be surprised. It is considered a classic. My public library has copies.<br /><br />Marmee- I will look for that one!

It would do for 'Indiana' in my personal US states challenge. Although, like you, I would want more about the locale and nature.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-35644262825129011072015-10-08T21:33:42.722-04:002015-10-08T21:33:42.722-04:00Yes, yes!

I didn't read this as a kid, and the reason I haven't read it as an adult is that I do feel it's the sort of book one prefers if one experienced it first in childhood. I feel like I've missed the window now!Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.com
