My school librarian recommended this book to me in the 7th grade. I am 63 and I have never forgotten the name of the book, or how much I enjoyed it.

I read thisi book when I was 10, and loved it so much that I remembered the name. It was an exceptional book, and I read 2-3 books a week at that time so you know it was really unique. The others that were special were the Betsy/Tacy/Tib books, mentioned in the movie, The Shop Around the Corner, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

I remember my fifth grade teacher reading us a chapter of this book every day after lunch. I am 61 years old, and I can remember anxiously waiting for the next chapter each day. I plan to purchase this book to read to my class this next year as well.

I truly hope this is the book I have been looking for. I am 57 and read it in elementary school. Loved it and have been looking for it for years. Please be the book!

I will be 80 this year and have been an avid reader all of my life, yet this book which I read in 6th or 7th grade, remains the one I shall always remember.

Well, sometimes somebody has to review the book again and again to get it right. lol

One fo the things I had to do when I started reviewing was unlearn how to do a book report. All those years of writing book reports didn’t set well with the editorial bosses so I had to learn a new way work.

Great review,and I’ll give you an ‘A’. But, and there is always a ‘BUT’. This is the third time you have reviewed this book Have you considered reading a different book?

I am now going to go and hide because Jan is going to kill me when she reads this.
