The Happiest Summer of Her Life

Her whole life, Jane had believed her father was dead. It was, therefore, quite a shock to receive an invitation to stay with him for the summer on Prince Edward Island. From their very first meeting, Jane falls in love with her charming father and his whimsical cottage on Lantern Hill. A whole summer of fun and adventure, meeting neighbors, and making friendsâ??far away from her grandmother's dreary house in the city. If only she could get her mother to come too.

As Jane juggles her love and loyalty for both parents, she dares to dream...a dream that she and her parents could live together without Grandmother directing their livesâ??of a house where they could all find home.

What Readers Are Saying:

"Out of the fantastic books Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote, Jane of Lantern Hill is my absolute favorite."

"Jane of Lantern Hill is what one comes to expect from a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomeryâ??charming, gentle, and most decidedly hopeful."

"This book is among L. M. Montgomery's best."

For those readers familiar with the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne shares much in common with the main character in this stand alone novel. Both characters have a headstrong and competitive, yet pleasing nature. The circumstances surrounding this story are quite different though, as Jane lives with her mother and grandmother, while being led to believe her father is dead. The story evolves from there, with Jane eventually traveling from Toronto, Canada, to Prince Edward Island. I didn't find Jane to be quite as likable and endearing as Anne. (Sorry, it is hard not to compare the two characters.) I also didn't like the story as much, so I was glad this wasn't part of a book series. It was fun to read once though and cross it off my TBR list. ( )

Jane is my favorite L.M. Montgomery character. I love Anne, Emily, the Story Girl (although I always identified more with Cecily) and everyone else. Still, practical, helpful, Superior Jane was the one who I wanted to be. Rereading this novel as an adult, which I do every couple years, it continues to be one of my favorite books. ( )

L.M. Montgomery is a long time and all time favorite author of mine. She writes the perfect girls story with just the right mix of adventure, drama and happiness. I find her books a comfort to read and have re-read most of her works many times over the years. They are classics for a reason and that reason is they are great. These are true comfort books for me and books I enjoy re-reading again and again. ( )

Nice! Jane is another imaginative child, but her imagination doesn't get in the way of her competence. Unlike the usual orphans, she has rather too much family - her parents are separated, by the efforts of her aunt and grandmother. I loved her settling in on the Island, and her household abilities (I want some of those recipes!). And a lovely happy ending - Irene misjudged, how good. Not a magnificent story, but highly enjoyable; it might be worth reading twice. ( )

Eleven-year-old Jane Stuart has had a rather gloomy childhood growing up with her beloved but distant mother and her cruel grandmother in her grandmother's massive and grim house on Gay Street in Toronto. Shortly after learning that her father isn't dead but only estranged from her mother, Jane receives an invitation to spend the summer with him on Prince Edward Island. While Jane desperately doesn't want to leave her mother, when she arrives in PEI she discovers how different her life can be and she begins to dream of a life where she can be Jane of Lantern Hill all year round.

While there's nothing earth-shattering or surprising in this simple tale, I absolutely adored it from start to finish. Montgomery's prose is as evocative as ever, beautifully conjuring the experiences of living in the country on PEI. While Jane reads a bit old for her age and some of her skills come a bit easy, it's also rewarding to see her grow as a person. Utterly charming, Jane has now taken second place after Anne Shirley as my favourite of Montgomery's creations. ( )
