Just David is one of the sweetest stories I've ever read. Written in a tongue and tone much simpler, yet more eloquent, it easily transports the reader into the scenery, and emotion of the story. If you want a read that is clean, pure, and simply enjoyable, this is the story to pick up. It is Children-friendly and full of beautiful prose, as well as morals.

"Why, it would be such fun,' he chuckled, 'to just forget all about the hours when the sun didn't shine, and remember only the nice, pleasant ones." 

Such an enchanting little book. I loved everything about it, and if anything, I only wish Porter would have wrote more in her life. This book feels a lot like a boy version of Pollyanna, the plots are very similar, but it takes a more realistic look on events and the idea of music changing lives and curing any sadness truly worked wonders for me. I would recommend it to mostly everyone, even if they did not like the Pollyanna stories. I wish this book was much more well known because it's simply a gem.
