"I'm not going with you, Aunt Dete!" Heidi Cries.
"Oh yes, you are!" Dete answers.
Heidi loves her home in the Swiss mountains, her grandfather, and her friend Peter, the goatherd. So when Aunt Dete takes her away to Frankfurt, she doesn't leave happily.
In Frankfurt, Heidi is soon good friends with Clara Sesemann, a rich but very ill firl in a wheelchair.
But how can Heidi live without the mountains? And what can she do about Rottenmeier, the Sesemanns' unfriendly housekeeper?
After reading this book, I think what is best for Heidi. It's her family! While there isn't anything nice to wear, and good to eat, feel happy is more important than anything. And Heidi and Clare becomes a closed friend. The power of friendship made Clare walk. This book was so moving!
