Little Rebecca all grown-up... and marring Mr. Aladin!

Like the first book, it was another cute story. It was a little slow in parts, but once I got into it it was pretty good.

Most of this sounded very familiar. It was either the last half of the book I've had since childhood, called Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, or he did a lot of cut-and-paste from that book. The title page says "Rewritten and re-told for today's reader", so probably the fomer; meaning simplified - or possibly modernized? The preachiness is still there. I would need to compare with my old book to see where the differences are. I enjoyed meeting Rebecca again, all the same, so I may just do that.
It begins with her attempts to adopt Jack after his mother dies, and continues through her education time at Wareham Academy and a bit after. She is already living with her aunts in the brick house.

When I finished New Chronicles of Rebecca a few months ago, I desperately wanted more. Specifically, I wanted more Adam and Rebecca. But alas, Kate Wiggin didn't give that to us. Her nephew(?), Eric Wiggin, though, did.
Eric Wiggin rewrote the two existing Rebecca books and added a third. This novel, the second of his trilogy, is a retread of the material from New Chronicles of Rebecca, and is, overall, a disappointing and unsuccessful one. He has lost all the spark and the joy that made the original books so magical, and given us instead a plodding, preaching mess.

I loved the book. It is great for 5th grade. It reminds me of Ann of Green Gables.
