jamyyc 's review for:
Jane of Lantern Hill
by L.M. Montgomery
“Jane,” said dad, “you are too good to be true.”
This charming little story felt like a warm hug every time I picked it up. It was more on the simple and straightforward side and didn't quite have that Anne of Green Gables magic, but it was enjoyable just the same.
I really liked Jane as a main character; she was sensible and playful and saw the world in such a unique way. Her character arc was very realistic and well-written. Dad's speeches and imagination were a lot of fun, and I really appreciated how he treated Jane like an adult. I think I would have liked a little more dimension with Mom's character though, and for Grandmother and Aunt Irene to be a little more rounded out as people (and not just villains).
But overall, this was really sweet. Lantern Hill sounded like such a lovely place, and the story played out really nicely.
