Nobody's Girl

Rating:
Summary: Enchanting collector's book
Review: Beautiful cover illustration as well as thoughout the book. This is one of the great children's books and not as well known as it should be. Takes you back in time in France and makes you realize the greatest fantasy is simply that of another time in history. It is extremely complex and often avoids cliches and very much growth and healing oriented. A nice orphan's adventure. Read this - it is a lovely book.

Summary: Enjoyable Read
Review: I have read this book twice. Once when I was a teenager and the second time as a Mother. I enjoyed the book as much the first time as the second. The book reads quickly and is very entertaining. I would recommend this book for any young adult.

Summary: Wonderful story of strength and not giving up
Review: I just recently finished reading this book. Once I started I didn't want to put it down. This is about a 13 year old girl who goes through a lot of painful changes in her life before finding her grandfather. Even in this there are secrets. She has to find a way for her grandfather to love her before she reveals who she really is.

Summary: A well worn family classic
Review: This story, published previously as The Adventures of Perrine, was passed down to me by my mother who received it from her mother. I had to finally buy a new copy since it has been read so often it is falling apart. I highly recommend it. Perrine's independence challenges commonly held ideas and in the end triumphs over them. Her ingenuity is inspiring.
