Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I think I read this as a kid, but maybe not; the only details that really seem familiar are at the very beginning.
I loved every bit of this book except the ending (and I knew what the ending was ahead of time, and wasn't surprised that I hated it, although I hoped not to). It's not an appalling ending like The Mill on the Floss, and it's supposed to be a happy one, but it's just not properly supported in Judy's character, I don't think. And I like her so much, I had hoped for an ending that fit better with her own nature.
