I like everything that Enright wrote, but this book especially tops the list. Randy and Rush are on my list of favorite literary heroines and heroes, respectively, and the Melendys themselves are among my favorite literary families. Growing up, I desperately wanted them all to be real - I knew that Randy and Rush and I would all be the best of friends. I love this book so much.

Her first book, Love Walked In, has a child character comparing Anne Shirley, Sara Crewe, and Mary Lennox, and thinking about other literary orphans in terms of how they would act in her situation.
