Reviews

[Annie]

Pretty sure I bought this at a Revolutionary War reenactment near my cottage when I was like, eight. I remember something about someone being sick and Annie having to ride somewhere against her dad's wishes (aka the plot of like, every middle grade novel ever). But whatever, ponies, history, I'm sure my tiny self enjoyed it.

[Winnie Thornton]

Yeah, didn't like this one, either.
