I have the whole series but one in paperback - the penultimate book was reprinted by a small press several years back, and the last one was promised but I don't think ever happened. Apparently the last few books were published just as the school-story genre came to an end, so they didn't print many, and now second-hand copies are about £40 which is too much for a 150-ish-page paperback. But I finally read it when I got my smartphone and downloaded it as a Kobo ebook - the one and only ebook I ever paid for. Some closure nearly 20 years after I began the series! <br /><br />Also, <3 Anne, of course. Spring is the perfect time to read those books, I think.

She loved it and I loved it as well. And Pollyanna, such a lovely story. Nice list! And I did go to my teen years and had such fun remembering.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.com
