What Katy Did at School is a sequel to “What Katy Did”, and written a year later, in 1873. Like many girls, I read and enjoyed these novels about the Carr family, written by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, using the pen name Susan Coolidge. The style and concerns are rather like those of “Little Women”,...

I don't know how I managed never to discover Forest when I was younger, but I'm glad to find her now. She was recommended to me by some friends on-line, and four books kindly sent to me by a friend in England. They are hard to find here—I don't know why the heck they are not in constant print. At the front introduction...

Lonely and anxious to prove herself, Rebecca decides to write something for the school magazine. But the piece that appears is not the one she intended and she unwittingly triggers...
| Author | Noel Streatfeild |
| ISBN | 0006753981 |
Not my favorite Streatfeild, though I found it interesting that it was a little darker than her usual. The parents die at the very beginning and the effects of it on the kids are dealt with at least a little. (I mean, I know she has other dead parents, but generally they're far in the backstory.) The uncle...

When I was about 6 years old I received what is still one of the best presents I've ever had: my mum's old Enid Blyton collection. It consisted of the St Clare's books, Mallory Towers, and a small selection of Famous Five, Five Find-Outers, and Adventure-series...

| ISBN | 0590421905 |
I received this book from my cousin when I was quite young, perhaps about 8 or 9. I'm not sure how many times I read it as a child, but it was a favorite. I loved the illustration on the cover- the edition I had as a child was the Scholastic edition with the pink cover.
A few years ago, I was poking around...
