Heidi

Heidi is by Johanna Spyri. The classic tale of a young orphaned child given to her hermit grandfather who lives in the Swiss Alps. She is then taken away from him to be the companion for a young crippled girl. All Heidi wants is to get back to her grandfather on the Alm. Her love for Klara and her friend the goat herd Peter changes both their lives. A truly sweet and classic must read.

Ratings: 5th grade - 9 out of 10.
