Cute little story what happened to Heidi after the Heidi book. I never knew there was a story after it. The book fell apart reading it so old was it, but it was an okay story. It is more for children, then for grownups. Some things like the fire, they don't explain how it happened, it was just there and I don't like that. The ending was a surprise. The book will get 3 points.

I had no idea that there was a sequel to Heidi before yesterday!
I quite enjoyed the book, but it did have a different feel to it than the original. Of course, that is probably because it wasn't actually written by Johanna Spyri - but all in all a good book with wonderful imagery. So keen to read more about Heidi gah this is a good day

This was actually sweet and perfect??? I’m usually leery of unauthorized sequels or series that are continued by new authors, but Charles Tritten was Joanna Spyri’s translator and had a good feel of her work. Heidi, Peter and the goats all felt like old friends.

2.5 stars. I didn't realise this sequel wasn't written by the original author until I picked it out my childhood bookshelf but I still felt Charles Tritten wrote in a similar style to the original novel.
This novel covered a large time span which I felt didn’t always work – at the beginning of the novel Heidi is 14 and goes to a boarding school and returns to the Alps for the holidays with a school friend but suddenly without warning she graduates, teaches in the village school and then marries Peter (with no transition from friendship to romance)!. I think this sequel would have worked better if it had just stayed with her during her boarding school years.
Again, there is religious moralising and very simplistic ways for solving complex situations, but I felt I enjoyed this sequel more than the original Heidi.

Good book for an adaption of classic character. Written by the author's translator. Adorable story.

I've had the sad realisation that without my nostalgic attachment to this book, it really isn't too amazing. But oh well, I still want to go for a holiday in the Alpes now!
