One of the first books I ever read. Still one of my favourites to this date. Its a emotional rollercoaster each page will either make you cry or smile or happy cry at times too. What made this book truly memorable for me is its deep appreciation for the simple things in life. Definitely a book I would keep going back to. This book is perfect for days where I need to unwind with something warm and cozy.

Little orphan Heidi goes to live high in the Alps with her gruff grandfather and brings happiness to all who know her on the mountain. When Heidi goes to Frankfurt to work in a wealthy household, she dreams of returning to the mountains and meadows, her friend Peter, and her beloved grandfather.

My comments:

This is a classic, a book i've read a number of times. I've heard this book read by various readers however I love the way Gemma wheelan read this story. She put a lot of life into the characters. It's a wonderful story and one I never get board of even as an adult.
