#ReadAway2024 #ForTheLoveofBooks

Read last night for August‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2024 I couldn‘t readily find a copy of this little book first published in 1946, but I was able to find the PDF to read on my phone. I hadn‘t heard of this book before but I enjoyed it. No one should be able to tell bear (or us) who we are. 🐻💛

TheSpineView Well done! 3mo
LiteraryinPA I read this book for the first time recently. It was strange! 3mo

I can‘t decide how I felt about this one. On the surface, it‘s a fun adventure similar to The Boxcar Children. I loved the way the children worked together to take care of themselves and fend off the dreaded DV and other “do-gooders”. The “Rules of the Barn” and refusal to take charity/handouts were admirable and smart. ⬇️

julieclair But if I thought too much about it, I just felt so sad for the children and worried for their safety. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had read it as a child. 3mo
CarolynM Great review. I thought it was sad too. I‘m not sure I would have liked it any better if I‘d read it in childhood - I think even then I‘d have been concerned about just how hard they all had to work! 3mo
julieclair @CarolynM Thanks! And good point about the amount of work they had to do. It was much more than just “playing house”. 3mo

#MiddleGradeMonday

I LOVED Kit Pearson when I was a kid, and I know I read this one a couple times (I was a big re-reader) but I don't remember much beyond its boarding school setting. @Karisimo

TheKidUpstairs @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian when I searched this one on Goodreads to get the cover image, your review from back in 2016 popped up! 3mo
Karisimo Nice one! Thanks for posting!! 3mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @TheKidUpstairs Cool! I also don't remember much about this book. 3mo

This was a good reminder that children are often much more resourceful & capable than we think, although they shouldn‘t have to be, of course. I enjoyed this one, and empathized with Sue, who carried most of the responsibility. Her going on strike certainly has given me ideas. I‘m fascinated by the haybox cooking, & recalled hearing about modern versions - the Wonderbag is one such. I‘d like to make one, just to try it out. 😄
#PersephoneClub

jlhammar Those wonderbags look kind of neat! 3mo
julieclair I‘ve never heard of a Wonderbag. Or a hay-box, either. But I‘m definitely curious about both! 3mo
CarolynM Wonderful indeed! As power prices rise we may all need to invest in one of these! 3mo
LeahBergen I haven‘t heard of a Wonderbag, either! 3mo
Aimeesue @jlhammar @julieclair @CarolynM @LeahBergen The Wonderbag company was started in 2008 to help South African families deal with the constant power outages, and hayboxes were used a lot during WW2 to save on fuel. I‘d bet similar techniques are being used in Ukraine and Gaza and other places seeing violent conflict today, if people can get food and have a pot and something to insulate it with. 3mo

Another enjoyable read from the persephone catalogue. Some great villains from Miss legge threatening to separate the children, to the dreadful DV, but strangest of all the curious Miss Blake + companion who Alice visits. All in all, Sue was remarkable. Good fun.
