The Railway Children

i adored this book so much. it was gentle, and kind, and comforting, and sweet. the characters were so emotionally intellectual–they constantlt considered the feelings of everyone around them. it allowed children to be who they are and be equal with the adults around them. i love bobbie so much–she reminds me so much of myself. and i loved the voice of the narrator when she spoke. it was as if she was my friend telling me a story. this is my favorite book of the year so far.
