I'll need to read more Dorothy Gilman books

Sweet, old fashioned story. Excellent character development. I listened to this when I couldn't sleep, but stayed awake to listen.

Not dated unless your imagination is dated

This was a perfectly wonderful read. The end was a surprise and really fun. It has my full recommendation for any age and family listening.

Entertaining!

A very enjoyable read. Well thought out, excellent narrator, excellent story, humorous!
I recommend you read this.

Cute

This was a fun, fast paced story. It’s like Sister Boniface meets the 1970s. Very cute.

Any additional comments?

I love Dorothy Gilman books and thoroughly enjoyed this one. The ending seemed to lose a little pace, and I'm not sure why I felt that way. Era it was written or maybe something else I can't put my finger on but didn't take away from the story and left me wishing for a sequel with the Sisters and their friends!

A Nun in the closet enchanting

The story was great and very fun! I did not like the swearing in the book. But the story and reading of the book was wonderful and enchanting.

Nostalgic Nun Story

Any additional comments?

If you lived through the 60s and 70s and fondly remember the TV show The Flying Nun, and enjoyed watching The Trouble with Angels movies, there's a good chance you will like this book as well. The 60s and 70s was when social consciousness among the Catholic Clergy was reaching its peak. The nuns in this book where a bit behind the times due to being cloistered, so have some catching up to do, but they work through their innocence with the help of some friendly (and more worldly) neighbors and "stare down the face of evil" when it presents itself.

Nunns are very wise and crafty

Overall I enjoyed the book. The reading performance was excellent - several different characters, she gave each one a very distinct voice. I rated the book 4 stars because of the end of the book. The story just fizzled rather than leaving me in suspense for a second book or to close it out so you felt fulfilled by the characters.

Very enjoyable!

This book made me feel happy. It was engaging, funny, touching without being saccharin, philosophical without moralizing, and a fun romp of a plot.

Highly recommended!
