We disagreed about Cousin Helen. Emma thought her a wonderfully romantic glamorous invalid.

Clara in Heidi breathes in the fresh air of the mountains and learns to walk again. I decided that one day I might try to write a modern version of What Katy Did.

I wanted the children to have all kinds of fun, though Katy is often in trouble with her stepmother children are rarely brought up by maiden aunts nowadays. My Katy would have a similar terrible accident, just like the Katy in the original book. But then my story would be very different. The book opens by reintroducing the Carr family and introducing the widow Mrs. Ashe has her nephew, Walter, over for a visit and it is discovered that he has scarlet fever.

What Katy Did Next - Wikipedia

Anxious that her only daughter Amy should not contract the disease, Amy is sent to live with the Carrs where she builds up a particular rapport with the eldest daughter Katy. Following Walter's recovery, Mrs. Ashe decides that she should have a vacation to Europe and asks that Katy be her travel companion. It is discovered that she has since gotten married to a man named Deniston and had a child by him.

Whilst both ladies are affectionate for the baby, they disagree over the natural world which the self-confessed "Bostonian" Rose regards with disdain while Katy is enamored by all things natural.

The girls reminisce about their time at Hillsover and it is discovered what has happened to previous characters; Miss Jane is still teaching, Lilly Page is in Europe while Bella is teaching out on the prairies. Rose Red jokes that if Bella is scalped by the Indians, they will know her by her dreadful hair pomatum. The movie What Katy Did, is a sweet family movie. However if you are like me and have read the book about 10 times, a childhood classic, then you may be disappointed with the story line. It only very broadly sticks to the story line and some of the book's most important moments are completely changed or left out.

If they had just stuck to the original storyline, it would've been an awesome movie, because the book was so beautifully written. I found myself mentally ticking off a check list in my head of all the details that had been changed and it made me feel sad. It is a movie the whole family can watch, and I must say that the character Katy was perfectly typecast for her role.
