Three half Japanese / half English sisters spend their summer in their seaside childhood home, looking back on their pasts, reveling in summer delights, and discerning their futures. They are joined by their fussy old great-grandmother, a beloved five-year-old nephew, and three childhood friends.

I read this book because I was looking to fulfill a book bingo challenge to read a book published in 1985. I have seen the movie a couple times so it was fun to revisit Kiki’s magical world in audiobook form. This is a short, cozy, whimsical read.

Hard to get through with the repetitive descriptive language but the plot was good.

4.5 stars. Jack and Annie travel to the prairie and visit a dugout schoolhouse, write with chalk on slate and befriend pioneers. They encounter a twister and have to hide in a storm cellar. This is one of their more exciting and endearing adventures.

I think this book should be read because it has an interesting story plot and a good compromise.

Somewhat interesting and entertaining, but I didn’t like it as much as her other books.

It was really creative and I wanted to read more every night!

Harry was very brave and stood up for the safety of his friends

I like everything, I can't choose.

i enjoyed reading this book and watching the movie
