Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
by Kate Douglas Wiggin
Am I feeling a little spicy about this book because it pales in comparison to Anne of Green Gables?
Maybe.
But I also had a lot of problems with most characters in this book. Miranda is a major bitch who barely improves. Rebecca is a huge Mary Sue who comes across as annoying and too perfect rather than this sparkly little person who changes everyones lives like she supposedly does. And Adam or Mr. Aladdin is a huuuuuge creeper. For real. Men giving special attentions to young girls is not okay now and it certainly should not have been in 1903.
I was hoping for charm and found this lacking. The Shirley Temple movie is far superior....and that has barely anything to do with the original plot.
Maybe.
