Very fun story--good read-aloud, especially for girls. I read this one aloud to my siblings.

I hadn't read this book for several years and so picking it up again was almost like reading it for the first time. I loved it! Daisy is such a lovable little girl, such a mixture of child and grownup. Ben, the other main character, is such a manly fellow. I would like to meet Ben in real life. And the dollies! Oh, my, that was just so sweet! Could you explain what a mortgage is and how it works to a child of 8? Not only is this story written in such a way that younger readers can enjoy it, it also draws in the older ones. In keeping with her other books, Isabella Alden "Pansy," weaves the truth of Scripture into her stories not as though she is preaching at the reader as some books do, but as a natural part of the story.

I'm so glad I picked it up to read again. Now I need to read the sequel.
