I really liked this book. I have another book that mentioned Heidi so it was good to finally read the story. My favourite character was Heidi as she helped people.

It is a very good book for people who have the name Heidi because it is all about a girl called Heidi.

It was really good as a story for kids to learn and to get better at their reading. I really enjoy it coming and my favourite person was the little girl Heidi.

I liked this book but it wasn’t as interesting as the others I have read. I prefer a bit more action and adventure. I wouldn’t particularly recommend it but it was ok!

There were some sad bits, like when Heidi's auntie took her away from her grandfather. It was happy in the end because Heidi's got to live with her grandfather again.

I was really shocked at how Heidi's Grandfather treated her at the beginning, I really wanted to tell him off! I found this story really interested but can't believe what Peter did, I'm not sure I would still want to be his friend... But I really liked the happy ending.

I like this fairytale as it had lots of emotions that Heidi left her beloved grandfather.I liked Clare as she tried so hard to walk.I would recommend this book to people who like emotional stories as it was very emotional.
