WoW

This book was amazing. Some find it quite boring. I really liked it. It was funny, adventurous, sad, and I will always remember it as a wonderful novel. At the beginning, two sets of sisters were stuck in the same cottage. They were put in a new environment. This really tested their personalities. At first, they greatly disliked each other. They grew closer together after a series of adventurous events. They discovered that they could get along. Martha, the main character, teaches Kit to stand up for herself. Kit becomes a new person. The setting, a cottage, is quite appropriate. It is away from "civilization" and is quite isolated.The girls experience a summer, of laughter, tears, and happiness, they will never forget.

Very interesting but real

I read this book and wondered what would happen next. It was really interesting, I enjoyed it.

a children's classic

I loved this book when I was a child. I recently reread it, and found that it hasn't lost any of its appeal. A well-crafted, perfectly paced, sweet but not sickly sweet story about friendship and courage.

An Excellent Book

This was my favorite book in elementary school -- it was the first one I checked out of the library each year for four years. The characters seem real, and the story is great.

This is an interesting book...

There's 4 girls that are in a cottage without their parents. First, they felt awkward but then, they started to become friends. Martha, one of the girls, was suppose to go to camp but she broke her arm so she couldn't go anymore and she was really sad about that. The 4 girls had many adventures living in a cottage without parents for about 2 weeks.
