The book Heidi was written by Johanna Spyri in 1880. It is about an orphan girl named Heidi who was brought by her aunt to live on the alm (or mountain) with her grandfather. Every day she goes out with her friend Peter who takes people’s goats up to the mountain so that they can graze. She is healthy and happy there. She also goes almost every day to see Peter’s blind grandmother and cares about her so much. One day her aunt Deet, who was the person who brought her to the alm, took Heidi away to Frankfort to live with a rich, disabled girl named Clara, who needs a friend to play with. Deet thinks that having Heidi live there will be better for her, even though Heidi doesn’t want to go. Life in Frankfort is hard. Heidi has to act a specific way and learn to read and write. Multiple times she tries to run away, but they always catch her. Heidi makes friends with Clara, and when Clara’s Grandmama comes to visit, Heidi loves her too. The Grandmama teaches Heidi about God and praying to him. At one point, Heidi sleepwalks and the servants in the house think that she is a ghost in her white nightgown. When she sleepwalks she is dreaming that she is back on the alm because she misses it so much. Eventually, Clara’s doctor notices that Heidi is homesick and tells Clara’s father, Herr Sesemann, who finally lets her return home. When she is there, she convinces her grandfather to go to church and teaches peter to read, but she misses her friend Clara. So, Clara and her Grandmother come to visit. I simply adore this book and think that it is underrated. I encourage anybody who enjoys classics to give this book a try. It is incredible. Thanks!

It was pretty good. I love the fact that the book was a story about a very generous girl and her grandfather

This book begins with Heidi's aunt taking her to live with her grandfather. As time flew quickly, her aunt returned and said that she found a place for her to live. She managed to trick Heidi and got away. They arrived at a location named Frankfurt. Soon, Heidi became homesick and started opening the front door in her sleep, frightening the family she was living with. After a while, a man noticed that Heidi had been acting strangely and asked what was wrong. Heidi explained that she missed the mountains and wanted to go home. The man knew right away that she was the one opening the door. They decided to send her back home the next day, where her heart yearned for. For a long time, I really liked this book. My favorite character is Heidi. She is so cute and funny!

I am reading this book project at school, every month we have a book project, this month, the genre is, realistic fiction. I am so happy my mother gave me this book. My favorite part is when Clara got to stand on two feet! She used to sit in a wheel chair.<3

This book is soooooo good, but it gets kind of confusing.
