Heidi
A five-year-old is left with a grandfather the whole village is afraid of.
Johanna Spyri's 1880 classic, told for Level 1. Heidi is handed to an old man who lives alone above the village and speaks to nobody. She is happy there — until she is taken away to a city house where everything is clean, quiet, and wrong.
