This was SUCH a darling book.  I'm not sure if I would have picked it up if it weren't for school, but I'm so glad I did.  This was rife with young mishaps much different and more feminine than characters such as Tom Sawyer (for obvious reasons, but I feel like they're within the same line).  Her mishaps are nowhere near as grave as they seem, but having that bright-eyed young wonder, they seem like the worst things that could possibly happen...so lessons and didacticism are rife within these pages, but they make for pleasant laughter and genuine love and care for Rebecca Randall.  

I love her so much, and she's one more young female character that should be imitated for her literacy, her love of learning, and love of life.  Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm brought out some of the best in me whilst I was reading it, and it's clear to me why this was in the same unit as Little Women for my class.  I definitely recommend visiting this old classic and revitalizing it in today's curriculum!
