Summary: Lasting impressions
Review: My mother read this book to my younger sister, brother and I when I was all of 7 or 8. Nearly 10 years later I still remember clearly how we would beg her to read "just one more chapter!" before bed. I remember being completely drawn in, captured, utterly enchanted with Rebecca and her travails. I still recall the disaster of the pink parasol as if it were my own tragedy! :) As an adult I can now see what a marvelous job the author did capturing and nurturing little minds regarding complicated interpersonal issues like personality conflicts. (Rebecca and Aunt Miranda) Because Rebecca is so easy to identify with, she is able to gently guide the reader through the process of learning and understanding to love and appreciate someone very different from yourself. She does such a marvelous job of entertaining and simultaneously provoking thought. Wonderful book- fabulous author. Highly recommended especially for girls.

Summary: Rose of Joy
Review: No review could do this marvelous book justice, but I will attempt it. My mother bought the book for me some years ago because she thought it would be good for me to read classics. Thinking that it would be boring, I didn't read it for a long time. But a couple of days ago I was bored and picked it up. Soon, I fell under the same spell Rebecca cast over nearly every person she met. Around the age of 10 or 11, she was forced to leave her home, Sunnybrook Farm, to live in a brick house with her spinster aunts in Riverboro. Her aunts Jane and Miranda weren't used to young people, but they let Rebecca stay with them in order to help out her poor widowed mother who had 6 other children to care for. Rebecca charmed nearly all the citizens of Riverboro, Aunt Jane, and, in time, her strict, austere Aunt Miranda. There were many things to love about the story. In fact, it has become one of my favorite books of all time. (and I am a voracious reader) The characters were all realistically and richly delineated. Rebecca especially came alive for me. She was such a talented, imaginative, caring girl. She was the kind of person that anyone would love to have as a friend. Actually, I would want to be her. I didn't want to stop reading about her adventures. The events played before my mind's eye like a movie. I traveled back in time, to 100 years ago. This is considered a children's book, but it has truths and insights that people of all ages can learn from. Several of the passages, the literary allusions, and Rebecca's poems were so beautiful that I had to reread them. The language was eloquent. As another reviewer said, the vocabulary wasn't "dumbed down" like the vocabularies of modern children's books, and there was a protagonist one could love. The only part about the novel that I didn't like was that there isn't a sequel. I would love to find out what Rebecca's career turns out to be. I believe that she marries Mr. Ladd (a.k.a. "Mr. Aladdin"), but I wish we could know for sure. Overall, I highly reccomend this book to readers of all ages. If you like books with wonderful supporting characters and an unusual, loveable heroine, treat yourself to "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm".

Summary: Sunny days!
Review: Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is a charming story. I have read it and re-read it countless times and it never fails to bring a smile to my face. The tale of an impoverished girl growing up to see the bright side of things is touching. I loved the quaint writing style. Overall, 5 stars!

Summary: A WONDERFUL BOOK
Review: This book is a about a young girl who moves from her "Sunnybrook Farm" and is sent to her aunt's redbrick house. This book shows Rebecca growing from a young child to a beautiful young adult, and how she has to deal with things that happen in everyday life, and sometimes those things are tragic. I strongly recommend this book to everyone, because with each chapter, you will learn more about Rebecca's life, which is like an unsolved mystery.

Summary: This book was great
Review: When Rebeccca is sent to live with aunt Jane and aunt Miranda ,Rebecca realizes that the Brick House is not the same as Sunnybrook Farm.Rebecca likes aunt Jane and dislikes aunt Miranda. but when aunt Miranda dies ,Rebecca understands that aunt Mirada was not trying to hurt her. I loved the book so much that Iam rereading it over and over. what I liked best is that Rebecca and everyone else in the story are so real that I will never forget them.
