Introduced in The Story Girl, Sara Stanley is L.M. Montgomery's most enchanting heroine since Anne of Green Gables. Sara was born with a fertile imagination and a strong sense of fun--and she gets her chance to put her talents to good use when she spends the winter with the King family in the old-fashioned town of Carlisle. On a blustery November day the King children and Sara, the Story Girl, come up with a great idea that will help them endure the dreary winter season. They will publish a magazine of their thoughts and adventures. From "Personals" and "Fashion Notes" to an etiquette column and stories of the most interesting happenings in Carlisle, OUR MAGAZINE is simply the most entertaining and delightful publication anyone in town has ever read. But seasons pass, and nothing is forever--and soon it will be time for the Story Girl to leave her good friends on Prince Edward Island, friends with whom she has walked the golden road of youth.

I didn't read the first book in this series, so I felt in the dark most of the way thru the book. I loved L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series, you could pick up any one of them and jump right in. Any of her books are worth reading. I will get the first book & see if I can "catch up" to the continuing story that is "The Golden Road."

Perfectly delightful!
Oh, I sooo enjoyed this sequel to "The Story Girl". Both of them together create the most delightful of books.
Now that I've finished reading it, I feel sad to leave my new friends behind. Beverley, Felix, Cecily, Peter, Felicity, Dan, Sara Ray, and, of course, Sara Stanley (better known as the Story Girl). Such charming friends that I won't soon be forgetting. Oh, and Patrick Grayfur too, for a good cat mustn't be forgotten either.
Their antics kept me laughing, and their paltry tragedies molded a saddened expression upon my face. To experience the highlights of their days with them... to hear the stories that the Story Girl shared... it is wonderful to be included in their little group of friendship.
The only thing that didn't enlighten me with pleasure, however, is the ongoing talk of Peg Bowen being a witch. I suppose in the children's confused minds, it's the only explanation for her weird habits, although I wish they didn't have to discuss it quite so often.
To depart with these children now is hard, but I shall probably revisit the pages of their stories again someday.
