cheriekg 's review for:

Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan

5.0

I had never read this classic, and had no idea it was such a lovely, short read. Clean prose, sincerity, and a straightforward tale with some good discussion points underneath it, this is a lovely children's novel. The oddity of advertising for a wife--or accepting such an ad--is strange to today's American audience, but it provides a sad backdrop to a lovely tale.
