I think the equivalent of early high school. They're in England. As am I currently (in spirit anyway--on a conference call with Brits).
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Too bad Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller aren't fiction. The spelling of the "w-a-t-e-r" scene would be perfect.

One day I will read Anne of Green Gables and A Little Princess. I love the Tom Sawyer idea. From what I know of his mum, she may too.

Because books.
You've never read A Little Princess?! ::faints::
What about The Secret Garden?

Oh, I read that post. And then forgot I did. Sorry!
I think I remember one of the books you have pictured there, Christina Katerina and The Box. If not, I remember something a lot like it.

I still have that one. You know, if you ever come to visit.

I just found a blog post on it! And I DO remember it! And now I want it back desperately.
I'm also dying to get my hands on a copy of Jellybeans For Breakfast (same series of books, the Parents Magazine Press ones), but I can only ever find copies for over $100.
I will come visit! Soon(ish).

I remember Trudy's cries of delight back in NY when she realized I had it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I like Secret Garden much better than Little Princess. Little Princess was OK, but the plucky tireless little girl who found a way to be happy in the midst of all problems could get old quickly. Mary Lennox from Secret Garden cried and threw tantrums and seemed much more like a real girl.
