A review by anniefox
Ginger Pye by Eleanor Estes

3.0

I found this in a freebie box at the end of a Friends of the Guerneville Library book sale. As a children's book author, I love reading all levels of kid lit. Ginger Pye was a Newberry Award winner in 1952, so of course, I wanted to see what was considered the "best" 60+ years ago. I enjoyed the story. I especially appreciated how the author, Eleanor Estes, committed herself to the brother and sister protagonists, to their extended family and to the community in which this story (circa 1919 Connecticut) is set. Anyone who has ever longed for a dog, loved a dog, or lost a dog is likely to enjoy the ride here... gentle as it is.
