Great stories live forever.

Between Frances Hogsdon Burnett, Louisa May Alcott (I might just re-read An Old Fashioned Girl for your big day in November, I'll be home the week before to pick it up!), Five Little Peppers, the Black Stallion novels, The Dark is Rising sequence, The Chronicles of Narnia, A Wrinkle in Time... and all of these are books I re-visit quite frequently (well, not perhaps the Black Stallion novels). They're comfort food! I’m away from home at the moment so I don’t hhave any of my childhood favourites handy to review… and I’m not sure I’d know which one to choose!

I've heard of this book and wondered if it was any good. I love that my daughter is old enough that I am starting to reread some things with her. Great review.

I had some fun times with the Boxcar children and I am loving reading through everyone else's fond reading memories.
