Description

It's a hard-knock life for America's favorite orphan! Everyone knows the story of the irrepressible Annie, who lives at Miss Hannigan's orphanage until she beats the odds and finds a new life with the benevolent and wealthy Daddy Warbucks. Annie has enchanted millions of readers from her original comic strip appearance to the hit Broadway musical. Now, with a Tony-nominated revival playing on Broadway, Puffin is reissuing this novelization of the classic story, with a new introduction by Tony and Emmy Award-winning author Thomas Meehan. This is an adaptation that delves even deeper into Annie's story, as she lives on the streets during the Great Depression, finds Sandy the dog, and encounters characters both familiar and new.

Horn Book Review

The playwright of the hit Broadway show adapts and expands his script into a novel about the eponymous orphan who melts the heart of gruff tycoon Oliver Warbucks in 1933 New York City. While the story loses some impact when separated from the show's iconic songs, added material fleshes out the narrative and characters' backgrounds. Ideal for fans of the musical. (c) Copyright 2014.
