Readin' and Dreamin'

The story of Prudence and her sisters was heartbreaking. The abuse they suffered under their grandfather was just horrid. Prudence selflessness to help her sister gave her great character. She wanted them to have a happy future and makes plans to get away from their grandfather.

This book played host to a slews of memorable side characters. Prudence's younger sister Grace, their Great Uncle Oswald and Gideon's Aunt Gussie were my favorites. There was so much witty dialogue in the book and each character's personality were painted perfectly - from the sweetest character to the most dastardly one. And Gideon was a good hero, not one of my favorites, but I loved how much he wanted to protect Prudence.
