I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting this treasured place in literature and move classics from my childhood. I totally enjoy the side story with the cat and the sweetness that the dad brought the cat back to Emmie. The description of the gardens and finding the dairies and emmie slowly discovering that the characters are real people that she interacts with everyday. Now of course since this is a different author the story may not totally go the way we all would like but that what happens when you borrow a story you get to add your own twist to what you think would of been great to see happen down the road after the story has ended. I was delighted and felt it was a great quick read appropriate for the age group the story is intended for.
