I had watched this movie when I was a young girl and loved it, too! I was so excited when I recently ordered the book from Amazon for a very reasonable price and received it within 48 hours. I am reading it to students at the school where I work. Also, I found the video at the library! I just hope I can finish the book before break and show the video before we break for Christmas. I'm determined to do it come hell or...I am working in the library so I am sharing it with several classes. The kids laugh at some of the funny slang terms in the book and really enjoy the feisty nature of the main character, Addie. I enjoy the historical nature of the book and reliving my childhood and how I felt as a child watching the television special. What a gem!
