Beautiful imagery to correspond with in comparison to the "Road to Avonlea" episode. Well written, and gives the impression that present day society is not all that different than it was one hundred years ago, we all carry the same basic problems and tribulations in life. This children's book takes it's reader to a differnt place, time, and age. The young become old as they dream between it's pages, and the old return to their sometimes forgotten youth. It is a step into the past for a seasoned, (or non-seasoned as the case may be) traveler! Although, on average, this is good reading, be wary adults that this is clearly a children's book and lacks the depth that L.M. Montgomery placed into the novels she herself wrote, and is merely an elaboration on an episode in a television series. Despite that, it is a must-have for a true 'Avonlea' fan, as are all the books in this paticular series.
