Listened via Audible - what a wonderful story. I love that Glenn Close read it as she was fantastic in the Movie. Naturally, I pictured Christopher Walken as Papa the entire time I was listening!

It's amazing how much more I appreciate this story as a parent. I loved it the last time I read it, I know I did... but wow.
I'd like to hear what kids think, though. Can they see themselves in the children of the story? I'd like to think they do.

I have avoided reading this book for decades because I have always been the tall Sarah and I hated being called "plain and tall" in reference to this book as a child.
I'm so so happy that I finally gave it a chance. From one Sarah Elizabeth to the fictional Sarah Elisabeth, there is nothing plain about us.
I love the historical fiction, the characters, the setting, and the ending most of all. I cried happy tears. It's a perfect short book for elementary school children, but readers of all ages will enjoy.

A spare, pithy, jewel of a book. What other writers take hundreds of pages to develop, MacLachlan does in fifty-eight.

I watched the movie with my mom, and it made me want to read the book. Very cute, little me would have loved it.
