You have to read this through an older lens and release your adherence to some contemporary social progress wrt sex, gender, race, socioeconomics, etc. Under a contemporary lens, this book is probably 2 stars.

This book brought back waves of nostalgia for being a child reading the adventures of other children. That's right - reading a book reminded me of reading other books 😅 Anyhow, this was a cute, feel-good book and I wish I had read it when I was a kid.
