Technically, we began this story before Christmas. However, it counts toward this year because that is when we finished it.
We shared The Railway Children. I read a chapter a night, nearly every night. In The Railway Children, we found friends.
The children were delightful. It is easy to see why this story is a classic. As a mom, I could easily relate to the pain the mother held, and why she kept a few secret from her children. And yet, I could also relate easily to Roberta, or Bobbie, as she was called.
Megan simply loved the story.
While I have other books I am reading, this is the first one I finished this year. I am not surprised that it is a children's book. I read a lot of them. I have discovered that I missed a lot of these really amazing stories as a child. Reading them now is like making friends with people I should have made friends with years ago.
Some stories are ageless. No matter how old you are, a good story will be a good story.
