Little Miss Grasshopper by Johanna Spyri audiobook.

Genre: family

Rita Feland has earned her nickname, Little Miss Grasshopper, the moment she starts bouncing with excitement. From their comfortable home in Dresden, the Feland family sets out for a long-awaited summer holiday in Switzerland, climbing toward the high country of the Gemmi Pass where sharp peaks, deep valleys, and clear air promise freedom and discovery. In a quiet mountain cottage, new acquaintances appear and the days fill with walks, stories, and the thrilling sense that the world is larger than Rita ever imagined. But Rita's bright curiosity and impulsive courage can carry her farther than anyone expects. When an innocent adventure turns suddenly frightening, the peaceful trip becomes a test of nerve and devotion as family members and strangers alike are drawn into a tense search through rugged terrain and an approaching night. Tender, suspenseful, and grounded in the beauty of the Alps, Johanna Spyri's tale explores the bonds between parents and children, the limits of youthful independence, and the steadying power of love and faith when fear closes in.
