Includes exclusive new illustrations, character guide, character quiz, author info, glossary, and Heidi-inspired activities I would rather be with my grandfather on the Alp than anywhere on earth! When Heidi is sent to live in the Swiss mountains with her bad-tempered old Grandfather, everyone in the village feels sorry for her. What will a little girl do in such an isolated home, and with such a grumpy companion? But Heidi soon discovers a secret: Grandfather isn't nearly as cross as he looks—plus she can play all day in the fields among the bright flowers. But then Heidi is whisked away again to be a companion to a injured girl in the city. She longs for her beautiful mountain home—how will she ever get back again?
