Very sweet story, appr. for readers about age 10.
My six-year old daughter loved this book. It contains lots of suspense and some lovely characters. Historical fiction for kids to grow on.
Really very touching. I loved it. Childrens book maybe for around ages 10-14. Both of my cousins are 11 they read it and loved it also.
This book has become a family favorite.I like that the story is told in short chapters about two orphan sisters, who overcame many obstacles in life. My 10yr old daughter reccomends this to her friends.

But Morning Glory is no ordinary doll--the girls learn that she has magical powers that will change their lives in amazing ways.. With the help of the doll, the sisters discover the true meaning of the Christmas spirit.
