Bright Island by Mabel Robinson (Retro Reads)
In this “Retro Reads” book, homeschooled Thankful Curtis must leave her beloved island to brave the mainland and boarding school. Bright Island by Mabel Robinson. Random House, 2012 (75th ann. reprint). 288 pages. Reading Level: Middle Grades, ages 10-12 Recommended For: Ages 10 and up I really appreciate it when publishers re-issue older books. The market isn’t as wide, no doubt, for these old-fashioned favorites, but they’re worth reading and keeping in print. Bright Island is a great example; this 75th anniversary edition is now 10 years old itself! One of my favorite books growing up was Ruth Sawyer’s Roller Skates (another 1930’s Newbery title); Bright Island reminds me of that same type of old-fashioned fiction.…
