They also pal around with hired boy Peter Craig and friend Sara Ray. (Who would name a boy Beverley?) They spend their time on the Island in the delighted and delightful company of their cousins Sara Stanley (aka The Story Girl), Dan, Cecily, and Felicity. Two city boys, Beverley (through whom the story is told) and Felix are sent to live with their cousins on Prince Edward Island for a season. This book details the story of the King family on Prince Edward Island. I plan on doing a blog post specifically on the Road to Avonlea series so I will refrain from discussiong that at this present moment. The popular television series, Road to Avonlea, is based on The Story Girl and its sequel, Chronicles of Avonlea. It is, however, easy to see why it would be. I don't feel like declaring The Story Girl to be her favorite - but certainly one of her better loved tales. But I don't think it should have kept that label (and be advertised as such) unless she restates it somewhere else because following that remark she went on to write an additional 13 novels and many short stories. Since then it seems to be heralded as a "must read" as holding a special place in Montgomery's heart and no doubt it did. When writing a series of articles for Everywoman's World she proclaimed that she felt like The Story Girl was her best piece of work. However, what frequently is not pointed out is that she made the aforementioned statement back in 1917. The Story Girl is frequently mentioned as being Lucy Maud Montgomery's favorite story out of all of the books that she read. Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge (74).

This book partly formed the basis for the popular television series Road to Avonlea (1990–1996), as did Chronicles of Avonlea, The Golden Road, and Further Chronicles of Avonlea. It was preceded by Kilmeny of the Orchard (1910) and followed by Chronicles of Avonlea (1912), and the characters return in its sequel, The Golden Road (1913). The book focuses on eight merry children who spend an enchanted summer in Carlisle, Prince Edward Island, a group led by Sara Stanley, the title protagonist, who is renowned for her gifts in oral storytelling.
