Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

The last time I read this I was pregnant with my son and having a sleepless night. That was 21 years ago. Guess it's time to bring this one back to the forefront, too.

Susan (and anyone else), did you ever read the sequels, written by another author?

I never read the book (actually, I didn't even know there was a book - how sad), but I watched the movie daily when I was a little girl (2nd grade or thereabouts?). I loved it so much and haven't thought about it for ages.

The Shirley Temple one?

I think I read an abridged version of this at some point. I liked the story well enough, but I had a Heidi picture book and the movie that originally sparked my interest.

No, I don't think I did read anything else. I have seen several movie versions, though. I also got to go to Switzerland in 2007. Heidi is practically an icon there. I even had my photo taken up on the Matterhorn with a St. Bernard named Heidi...lol

Thinking of a St. Bernard named Heidi makes me smile. We had a gigantic St. Bernard on my block named Bono. Was Heidi also huge?

I loved the Shirley Temple movie, but the book was never one of my favorites. It was a little sappy for me. *ducks*

Haha, there's a reason why the drink named after her is sugary sweet!

This book makes me hungry. So much country bread and cheese in the crisp mountain air...
