Heidi | Johanna Spyri

pick

This is a retelling, and I‘m sure leaves out some things, but I feel like I got the message of the book. It‘s an oversized picture book, but with lots of text for a middle grade reader - complete with handy text boxes with additional information to help with comprehension. This #realclassic #middlegrade completes the #bbrc for me!! I‘ve absolutely loved this challenge- thanks to @LibrarianRyan for organizing it!

annahenke I love the old movie of this book. 5y

Sarahreadstoomuch @annahenke I‘m going to have to check it out - I‘ve never seen it! 5y

annahenke @Sarahreadstoomuch highly recommend it! It‘s got that heartwarming feel of like a Pollyanna or a Christy movie. Really sweet. 5y

Bklover Reading Heidi has always made me crave grilled cheese sandwiches 🥪❤️! 5y

The last prompt I need to read for #bbrc is #middlegrade #realclassic. I‘ve tried to finish this over the past 2 or 3 months and I just can‘t! I‘ve tried audio, print, even this abridged print and I just can‘t stick with it AT ALL. Hopefully can find something else in the next couple weeks before the challenge ends!

Sarahreadstoomuch Also curious @LibrarianRyan , will you be doing this again? Do you need some help? 5y

LibrarianRyan I hadn‘t really decided. I can. I really like it. Some section like picture books I plan to keep. Maybe require they be reverse reads. It‘s on my to do list for the weekend. If you want to help we can do it together. 5y

LibrarianRyan BTW I understand the 20,000 thing. It took me FOREVER to finish. It was so much slower than I thought. The movie is much better. 5y

Sarahreadstoomuch @LibrarianRyan I‘m happy to help! This really has been my favorite challenge.. I really appreciated getting back in touch with children‘s books again! But I understand that hosting something like this is a lot, so really, I‘m happy to help. I think I have your email... 5y

LibrarianRyan @Sarahreadstoomuch I have to take my brother in law shopping so I‘ll have a lot of down time in between stops (first stop glasses which is when I was going to get started. My email is missryanaf@gmail.com 5y

The Secret Garden | Frances Hodgson Burnett

pick

Surprisingly, this was my first reading of this classic!

Though the language and political correctness are very dated, this is a charming tale of friendship and, dare I say magic, in the English countryside. I can see why this is an enduring classic - positive thinking, healthy exercise, and a dose of imagination propel the narrative. I am not a fan of the outdoors, but even I thought of the smell of soil and all things Spring!

Librarybelle This is my #RealClassic for #MiddleGrade #BBRC @LibrarianRyan @StayCurious 5y

The Hobbit | J.R.R. Tolkien

so-so

Not my favorite, but that is ok. It was a great audio read. I am generally not a fan of fantasy books.

Emil and the Detectives | Erich K�stner

pick

I had never read this, but my goodness, is it cute! Emil and his new friends attempt to catch the thief who sneakily snatched his money on the train to Berlin. So much fun - and the conversations between the kids is hilarious!

Would this count as #bbrc #middlegrade #realclassic @LibrarianRyan ?

LeahBergen I never read this as a kid but I bought an old copy a couple of years ago. Slightly Foxed has published a really cute memoir by the author of his childhood. 5y

LibrarianRyan Sure why not 5y

mabell @LeahBergen I bet that would be cute! He seems to relate well to kids. 😄 5y

5/5
So happy I got to revisit my childhood favorite for #BBRC. After all these years, it‘s still so good. And a perfect excuse to indulge in all things chocolate. 🍫🍫🍫
