Ok, let me explain I know Anne is beloved by many, but I just cringe thinking about all of the crazy situations a “good” kid got herself into. Here’s where the confession gets even more shocking I think it’s because it sort of reminds me of Anne of Green Gables, which I also did not enjoy (pause for gasps). ![]() There are glowing reviews everywhere and if you pick up this book, you will probably love it too so I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I did not love Penny From Heaven. And the two sides of her family aren't speaking to each other!ĮVERYONE seems to love this book. Her Nonny cries every time her father's name is mentioned. ![]() ![]() To make matters worse, her favorite uncle is living in a car. For starters, she can't go swimming because her mother's afraid she'll catch polio at the pool. But nothing's that easy in Penny's family.
