Newbery Medal Winner, 1967
Julie would remember her happy days at Aunt Cordelia’s forever. Running through the spacious rooms, singing on rainy nights in front of the blazing fireplace. There were rides in the woods on Peter the Great, the races with Danny Trevort. Maybe best of all were the precious moments alone in her room at night, gazing at the sea of stars. But there was sadness too - the painful jealousy Julie felt after her sister got married, the tragic death of a schoolmate, and the bitter disappointment of her first love. Sometimes it all seemed like too much to handle. Julie was having a hard time believing life was fair. But she would have to be fair to herself before she could even think about new beginnings....

A beautiful story that’s been overlooked all these years!

5 stars, except 4 for performance, as I wasn’t too sure of Ms. Blanchard’s voice. I didn’t ‘not’ like it, but in MY mind I hear a different, more mature voice. But not ‘so’ mature, that you can tell it’s a 40 y/o vs. a young 20 y/o, as Julia’s age (by books end) should be.
HOORAY! A ‘spoken’ version ....

The story is well written and though it is somewhat short, it is told with enough detail to draw you in. I felt as though I was able to get to know the characters and connect with them.
The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because it was all very reminiscent of Anne of Green Gables. There were many parallels and though I loved the story, I wished it held it's own a little more.

I loved it

The narrator wasn’t the voice I’ve always imagined, but I genuinely appreciated her time and attention to bringing these characters to life.
It’s a beautiful story. I hope many people give it a try. This book deserves to be remembered.

The story is still a good one and deserves its Newberry Award medal. Irene Hunt wrote in a very natural manner that was also quite descriptive. I feel as if I met these likable characters in the street, I would recognize them and know all about them. Great book... horrible narrator.
