Heidi by Johanna Spyri
5.0

This book was such a joy to read, I loved everything about it. Heidi has such a presence in the novel that she practically leaps off the page as her delightful air not only affects those around her, but also the reader. You will find yourself with a smile upon your face throughout most of the novel and may even indulge yourself in a chuckle or two at the loveable but questionable Peter and his antics . Although I cherished every character in the book I do have to say that Peter was my favourite by far as he was endlessly entertaining. Heidi herself was a delight and reading of how she had such great influence on those around her was charming beyond measure. I'm sure that this story will remain close to my heart for many years to come and urge everyone to read it, especially fans of A Little Princess.
