Sarah, Plain and Tall
by Patricia MacLachlan
3.5 ⭐s
I know I read this as a kid, but all I could remember was the praise surrounding it.
Would love more insight and development as an adult reader, but this book delivers to a young audience in a nice and concise way, so I will settle for inferences made reading between the lines. The dialogue was very stiff, choppy, and robotic, though. It reminded me of how early learn-to-read books are written for kids. This is a step above that, and so I would have liked the rhythm of the dialogue to be above that, too.
