I loved Pippi Longstocking! I still have one of the books kicking around my house somewhere. The same woman who wrote Pippi's exciting adventures also wrote this book! What a cool way to bring back a small part of your childhood than to read a blast from the past book!
If you have a child or grandchild between the ages of 8 & 15, this 180 page book would make a super gift. Pass the love of reading a "real" aka actual paper in hand book, down to the next generation!
Even though it is set in the 50's, the longing of a child to want loving parents and to be loved, is timeless.
My daughters read the book after I did and they enjoyed it as well.
From Amazon.com summary: After running away from an orphanage, nine-year-old Rasmus finds the world a cold and unfriendly place until he meets an extraordinary tramp called "Paradise Oscar." Together they meet more adventure than they ever imagined, solve a mystery, catch the culprits, and find Rasmus a home.
