Review title: Why Has The Original Version Changed?
Product review: I have a "Weekly Reader BookClub" version that I found at a garage sale about 25 years ago. It has been well-read and much loved over the years.When I saw the current edition in a bookstore recently, I thought I would replace my worn copy. My reaction to the current edition was, "What have they done to this story?!" I realize the movie's release probably has something to do with the changes. For me, though, the name change from Liz to Andi, and Sadie's name change to Friday, ruins it. I will stick to reading the 1971 edition; I just finished reading it to my sons and they loved it, especially the illustrations by Leonard Shortall. As for how Hollywood butchered this wonderful story when they made it into a movie; well, better not go there except to say I won't waste my time or money! I'll re-read my good old book!
