Lovis was my favorite character. So calm to all the chaos. From now on, I will aspire to be Lovis.

Loved Ronia's and Birk's friendship. I honestly think living in a cave might be a cool adventure. As long as harpies don't find me. I think Linville Caverns should offer nightly stays.

Matt was all over the place. Good grief. This was an awesome read.

SEPTEMBER #CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2025

Banned Book Edition

All welcome

Yes I know this is currently author a month didn‘t know that when I put out schedule in October of 2024

One of my most beloved Judy Blume moments with students happen when I read this book with or aloud to students of ALL AGES. They ADORE it. In my 36 years of volunteering at the public school I have never found this book in any school library.

How did I not read this as a little girl? It's so exactly my cup of tea, evoking memories of The Secret Garden, Sensible Kate and other beloved orphan stories. I like how Mandy starts out seeming so perfect, but we learn she has a lot of normal childish feelings and dumb ideas. 😂 And the ending is just perfect, because it addresses the unasked question of a lot of orphanage stories -- what about the other kids?

tpixie I‘m starting this tomorrow! A little late, but am really excited- esp with your review! 3w
willaful @tpixie I hope you'll enjoy it too! 3w
MemoirsForMe Great review! Totally agree! 3w
Butterfinger I thought the same thing about the Secret Garden. Mandy was so precious. Just wanted something to claim as her own. 3w

What a sweet story! Yes, I cried during the Winter chapters.😭 I heard that in 1968 Julie & husband Blake Edwards were shooting a movie in Ireland at an old manor house enclosed with thick walls & a cottage decorated entirely with seashells. “The moment I saw it, Julie says, “the seed of a story lodged in my mind.” Thrilled this amazing actress/singer added writing children‘s books to her repertoire.🤩🙌🏻
