Really lovely, even as an adult. I was transported. I am very much enjoying the revisit of this story.

Skylark, the second book in the Sarah, Pain and Tall series, follows the Witting family as they deal with a drought and all the problems that come with it. In this book we get to meet the aunts and Chub. This was another great short story from Patricia Maclachlan. I definitely recommend this and am looking forward to reading the next book.

I had to read this book in fifth grade when the teacher discovered that a section of us had already been forced to read Sarah, Plain and Tall in the two previous grades. I remember hating it pretty much as well as the original

While reading the first part of the book my son and I both agreed that we didn't like it nearly as well as Sarah, Plain and Tall, but by the end we both liked it.

There is nothing wrong with these books, they're sweet, the characters are pleasant, but they're just so, so very slight. Almost nothing happens--I feel this could have eaten up about 2 chapters in a different novel. My e-version even misled me as to its length, since after Skylark ended the file was padded with samples from not just the next in the series, but the next three! It's a sweet, short story, but if you're looking for a novel to sink your teeth into you won't find this filling enough.
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s)
