Synopsis:
Pippi's father, Captain Ephraim Longstocking has returned, and Pippi decides to go with him on his ship and to a southern island, where he has become a king. However, that would mean that she'd have to leave her friends Annika and Thomas, who are naturally saddened by the thought of losing Pippi.
Review:
This was actually my first Pippi book, if I remember correctly. I was a little weirded out that Pippi would have a monkey and a horse in her house, but I came to like her oddities very quickly. As with the first Pippi book, this is a classic and should be read by all kids. It's fun, it's silly, and a really great read.
