I don't love it as much as the first in the series but I want to spend as much time with the characters and on PEI as possible.

This was so disappointing. Hopefully the next one is better.

I really disliked the storyline with the twins. They did Dora dirty. And Davy can go eat a rotten, bug infested turnip. He's not cute, he's a walking red flag.

I didn't lile this one as much as I liked the first, but Anne is such a compelling character and I want to soak up her world. 

I think what took the most away from the story in this book was the entire storyline of Davy. I didn't find him interesting or compelling, and it made me sad how much space he was given and how little his twin sister got.
