The book is a fun one. The Mister and I just booked tickets to the 
Canadian Maritimes (and it's the Anne Centennial!) and I re-read it to reacquaint myself with Prince Edward Island. Unlike the Anne and Emily books, however, The Blue Castle takes place in Ontario. While it's still the story of a downtrodden girl discovering how to live, The Blue Castle is sillier and more fun than most of Montgomery's other novels. Highly recommended, and it contains these great lines about luck.

They both admitted that Good Luck was so lovable that he practically amounted to an obsession," (pg. 149) of course, "Luck is a dainty little cat."

Hmm, I've only ever read LMM's "Anne" books. I should read the others sometime... maybe I will read them to Annika someday.
As you may have guessed, The Blue Castle is my FAVORITE book.
