This is a nostalgic read for me…a book that someone gave me when I was in late elementary school.
It love the characters here, and the Parent-trap like machinations of the teens are both funny and heartwarming.
I loved and still love the way Dorrie finds her place in her family and gets to stability, even if it’s not exactly the way she envisions it. And though there are preachy moments in here they aren’t completely cringe-worthy.
This is a book I go back to from time to time–a comfort read when the world has gone crazy. Do you have any nostalgia reads like this?
Very nice and thanks for sharing. I like your reviews as they’re succinct and informative ^_^.
One of mine is “The Chrysalids” by John Wyndham. We had to read it early in secondary school. I remember feeling connected to the “mutant” characters (like the MC David) – certain they didn’t fit in but trying hard to anyway.
Ooh–I haven’t read that one. I’ll have to try it.
