Description
Eleven-year-old Rebecca Randall is quite a handful--and now she's leaving her beloved Sunnybrook Farm to live with her well-to-do elderly aunts and get an education. But they were expecting Rebecca's quiet, hard-working older sister instead. Can the bright-eyed and talkative girl win them over...especially her strict, rule-bound Aunt Miranda? Just as Rebecca's "grand spirit" charms everyone in the story, it will captivate readers, too.

her. The language and vocabulary were quite difficult for her at times but I was able to explain it and also share my delight at some of the well written passages. I guess it is a little wordy and sentimental, but if that kind of book appeals you'll like it. Show Less
