What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge
4.0
This was such a happy, delightful book. I am going to keep this really short, not because I didn't like the book, but there awaits my challenge.
This little book is the first of a trilogy. I loved the character of Katy. She is you and me. Elder sister, domineering, annoying, always wanting to be on the top, impulsive, constantly getting into problems, making friends, getting heartbroken - until one day, a fatal accident turns her world upside down. This uplifting story is of Katy who finds a way out of all her misery to turn into a beautiful, patient, loving heart of the house.
Although I loved this totally, I loved Anne of Green Gables more. The story lines of both are way different but the feels they gave me were similar, hence the comparison. I have one more book to recommend to 10-yr olds and adults who love to read children's' books now as a must-must read.
