I was suddenly struck by a wave of nostalgia, remembering how much I loved this book as a kid, so I grabbed "The Secret of Pineapple Place" from the library on a whim. The story follows a boy struggling with his parents' divorce and a recent move. He makes a new friend, only to discover that, for most people, her street and its inhabitants are invisible. Apparently, Pineapple Place has been vanishing and reappearing in different neighborhoods since World War One, and the people living there have...

As a young girl, this was the book that started it all for me....My imagination flourished, and my journey alongside the characters truly began. It was through reading "The Secret of Pineapple Place" that I realized how an author can make a character feel so incredibly real. You share their laughter, their joy, and their pain as if they were your own. Their friends become your friends, and you can practically see them standing right beside you. Anne Lindbergh truly created something special with...

This is a charming and imaginative little book about a young man navigating a new life in Washington D.C. following his parents' divorce. He makes some friends who turn out to be incredibly helpful in helping him appreciate his new surroundings – children and adults displaced in time, all residing on Pineapple Place in 1939. It's a great read if you're looking for unique book reviews. I found the story truly endearing, and the glimpses of the city were a lot of fun. The next time I'm bumped int...

I picked up "The Secret of Pineapple Place" by Anne Lindbergh because The Washington Post raved about how it features a bunch of spots in Georgetown, D.C. And get this – those places are all within, like, a seven-mile radius of my house! Total coincidence, but I had to check it out. Turns out, it was a total charmer! We're already diving into the next book in the series. Pineapple Place is this totally whimsical street, packed with houses and people who are frozen in time and mostly invisible. E...

A cute, fairly gentle story with an interesting twist on the time-slip trope. I think I might have read Anne Lindbergh's *The Secret of Pineapple Place* when I was a kid. Definitely a good choice if you're looking for a cozy children's book!

My grandma gave me "The Secret of Pineapple Place" when I was a kid, and it took me a few tries to actually get through it (I wasn't really into fantasy back then... weird, I know). I reread it as a teenager, and then again this year after devouring the Harry Potter series. Honestly, if you're a Harry Potter fan, I think you'd really enjoy this book by Anne Lindbergh. While the characters aren't exactly witches and wizards, there are still a lot of similar themes and ideas. I think it's a fantas...

Every so often, I stumble across a truly fantastic book that I just know I'll cherish forever. I found one of those today. It's called "The Secret of Pineapple Place" and was written by Anne Lindbergh (the daughter of Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh). It was originally published in 1982. It's a fantasy novel set in Washington D.C. about a street of people visible only to a newcomer named August Brown. August gets understandably frustrated that no one else can see the wonderful world...
