Positively lovely. Aside from the Judy Blume catalogue, this is one of those books that fueled my imagination as a youth. I definitely identified with Petrova. As an adult, I am quite impressed with how female positive this book is.

A very sweet old-fashioned story. It rolls along pleasantly with small little adventures that reminded me of those in Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables. Safe, cozy tales that surround you in the story, like you are being wrapped up in a comforting blanket. Charming is really the best word. Each of the three orphan characters in the book finds and pursues what she loves best in the world.

When one of the prompts for SPL's summer book bingo was "reread a childhood favorite" I knew exactly which book I wanted to use
